Ingo Molnar 4307d1e5ad x86: ignore the sys_getcpu() tcache parameter
dont use the vgetcpu tcache - it's causing problems with tasks
migrating, they'll see the old cache up to a jiffy after the
migration, further increasing the costs of the migration.

In the worst case they see a complete bogus information from
the tcache, when a sys_getcpu() call "invalidated" the cache
info by incrementing the jiffies _and_ the cpuid info in the
cache and the following vdso_getcpu() call happens after
vdso_jiffies have been incremented.
