Subject: [PATCH] coresight: tmc-etr: alloc_perf_buf: Do not call
smp_processor_id from preemptible

During a perf session we try to allocate buffers on the "node" associated with the CPU the event is bound to. If it is not bound to a CPU, we use the current CPU node, using smp_processor_id(). However this is unsafe in a pre-emptible context and could generate the splats as below :

Use NUMA_NO_NODE hint instead of using the current node for events not bound to CPUs.
