mm/vmalloc: use raw_cpu_ptr() for vmap_block_queue access

The per-CPU resource vmap_block_queue is accessed via get_cpu_var().  That
macro disables preemption and then loads the pointer from the current CPU.

This doesn't work on PREEMPT_RT because a spinlock_t is later accessed
within the preempt-disable section.

There is no need to disable preemption while accessing the per-CPU struct
vmap_block_queue because the list is protected with a spinlock_t.  The
per-CPU struct is also accessed cross-CPU in purge_fragmented_blocks().

It is possible that by using raw_cpu_ptr() the code migrates to another
CPU and uses struct from another CPU.  This is fine because the list is
locked and the locked section is very short.

Use raw_cpu_ptr() to access vmap_block_queue.
