blk-mq: use get_cpu/put_cpu instead of preempt_disable/preempt_enable
blk-mq is using preempt_disable/enable in order to ensure that the
queue runners are placed on the right CPU. This does not work with
the RT patches, because __blk_mq_run_hw_queue takes a non-raw
spinlock with the preemption-disabled region. If there is contention
on the lock, this violates the rules for preemption-disabled regions.
While this should be easily fixable within the RT patches just by doing
migrate_disable/enable, we can do better and document _why_ this
particular region runs with disabled preemption. After the previous
patch, it is trivial to switch it to get/put_cpu; the RT patches then
can change it to get_cpu_light, which lets virtio-blk run under RT
kernels.
