drivers: Replace __get_cpu_var with __this_cpu_read if not used for an address.

__get_cpu_var() can be replaced with this_cpu_read and will then use a single
read instruction with implied address calculation to access the correct per cpu
instance.

However, the address of a per cpu variable passed to __this_cpu_read() cannot be
determed (since its an implied address conversion through segment prefixes).
Therefore apply this only to uses of __get_cpu_var where the addres of the
variable is not used.

V3->V4:
	- Move one instance of this_cpu_inc_return to a later patch
	  so that this one can go in without percpu infrastructrure
	  changes.

Sedat: fixed compile failure caused by an extra ')'.
