Santa commit ebb9d30a6a74 ("powerpc/mm: any thread in one core can be
the first to setup TLB1") removed the need to know the cpu_id in
early_init_this_mmu(), but the call to smp_processor_id() which was
marked __maybe_used remained.

Since commit ed1cd6deb013 ("powerpc: Activate
CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK") thread_info cannot be reached before mmu
is properly set up.

Drop this stale call to smp_processor_id() which make SMP hang
when CONFIG_PREEMPT is set.
