core: 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 determined (since it's an implied address conversion through
segment prefixes).  Therefore apply this only to uses of __get_cpu_var
where the address of the variable is not used.
