powerpc/paravirt: correct preempt debug splat in vcpu_is_preempted()

Browse source 
vcpu_is_preempted() can be used outside of preempt-disabled critical
sections, yielding warnings such as:

The result of vcpu_is_preempted() is always used speculatively, and the
function does not access per-cpu resources in a (Linux) preempt-unsafe way.
Use raw_smp_processor_id() to avoid such warnings, adding explanatory
comments.
