MIPS: ptrace: Avoid smp_processor_id() in preemptible code
ptrace_{get,set}_watch_regs access current_cpu_data to get the watch
register count/masks, which calls smp_processor_id(). However they are
run in preemptible context and therefore trigger warnings like so:
[ 6340.092000] BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: gdb/367
[ 6340.092000] caller is ptrace_get_watch_regs+0x44/0x220
Since the watch register count/masks should be the same across all
CPUs, use boot_cpu_data instead. Note that this may need to change in
future should a heterogenous system be supported where the count/masks
are not the same across all CPUs (the current code is also incorrect
for this scenario - current_cpu_data here would not necessarily be
correct for the CPU that the target task will execute on).
