Due to the fact that p4 counters are shared between HT threads
we synthetically divide the whole set of counters into two
non-intersected subsets. And while we're "borrowing" counters
from these subsets we should not be preempted (well, strictly
speaking in p4_hw_config we just pre-set reference to the
subset which allow to save some cycles in schedule routine
if it happens on the same cpu). So use get_cpu/put_cpu pair.

Also p4_pmu_schedule_events should use smp_processor_id rather
than raw_ version. This allow us to catch up preemption issue
(if there will ever be).
