[PATCH] sched/idle: fetch smp_processor_id out of the idle loop

From: Cheng Jian
Date: Wed Oct 25 2017 - 07:25:03 EST


The commit c1de45ca831a ("sched/idle: Add support for
tasks that inject idle") redesigns the code for idle
loop to support for tasks that inject idle.
it fetches the current CPU using smp_processor_id( )
every time when the idle task runs.

Now idle task is no longer limited to PID == 0,
but the current CPU is constant, so fetch the
smp_prcessor_id( ) out of the loop like the
commit df55f462b905 ("sched/idle: Optimize the
generic idle loop") do.
