commit 8a10c06a20ec8097a68fd7a4a1c0e285095b4d2f upstream.

With preemption turned on we can read incorrect throttling state
while being switched to CPU on a different chip.

 BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: cat/7343
 caller is .powernv_cpufreq_throttle_check+0x2c/0x710
