Greg Hackmann 0dcd787602 net: xfrm: use preempt-safe this_cpu_read() in ipcomp_alloc_tfms()
f7c83bcbfa ("net: xfrm: use __this_cpu_read per-cpu helper") added a
__this_cpu_read() call inside ipcomp_alloc_tfms().

At the time, __this_cpu_read() required the caller to either not care
about races or to handle preemption/interrupt issues.  3.15 tightened
the rules around some per-cpu operations, and now __this_cpu_read()
should never be used in a preemptible context.  On 3.15 and later, we
need to use this_cpu_read() instead.

syzkaller reported this leading to the following kernel BUG while
fuzzing sendmsg:

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
