tile: ns2cycles should use __raw_get_cpu_var

ns2cycles use per_cpu variables, and will, eventually, find its way into
smp_processor_id(). This is not safe in a preemptible kernel;
preemption should ideally be disabled.

BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code:
systemd-modules/367
caller is ns2cycles+0x40/0xb8

Starting stack dump of tid 367, pid 367 (systemd-modules) on cpu 2 at
cycle 20969956421
 frame 0: 0xfffffff70004b860 dump_stack+0x0/0x20 (sp 0xfffffe407993fa90)
 frame 1: 0xfffffff7006abc28 debug_smp_processor_id+0x1a8/0x1e0 (sp
0xfffffe407993fa90)
 frame 2: 0xfffffff7004d7b40 ns2cycles+0x40/0xb8 (sp 0xfffffe407993fab8)
 frame 3: 0xfffffff7004dc578 __ndelay+0x38/0x80 (sp 0xfffffe407993fae0)

However, in this case:

- the frequency is the same accross all cores
- we use the data read-only
- we do not scale the frequency

Which means that we can use the __raw_get_cpu_var instead.
