[PATCH v2 4/4] powerpc/pseries: Rework lppaca_shared_proc() to avoid DEBUG_PREEMPT

From: Russell Currey <ruscur at russell.cc>

lppaca_shared_proc() takes a pointer to the lppaca which is typically
accessed through get_lppaca().  With DEBUG_PREEMPT enabled, this leads
to checking if preemption is enabled, for example:

  BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: grep/10693
  caller is lparcfg_data+0x408/0x19a0
  CPU: 4 PID: 10693 Comm: grep Not tainted 6.5.0-rc3 #2
  Call Trace:
    dump_stack_lvl+0x154/0x200 (unreliable)
    check_preemption_disabled+0x214/0x220
    lparcfg_data+0x408/0x19a0
    ...

This isn't actually a problem however, as it does not matter which
lppaca is accessed, the shared proc state will be the same.
vcpudispatch_stats_procfs_init() already works around this by disabling
preemption, but the lparcfg code does not, erroring any time
/proc/powerpc/lparcfg is accessed with DEBUG_PREEMPT enabled.

Instead of disabling preemption on the caller side, rework
lppaca_shared_proc() to not take a pointer and instead directly access
the lppaca, bypassing any potential preemption checks.
