nd_region_acquire_lane uses get_cpu, which disables preemption. This is
an issue on PREEMPT_RT kernels, since btt_write_pg and also
nd_region_acquire_lane itself take a spin lock, resulting in BUG:
sleeping function called from invalid context.

Fix the issue by replacing get_cpu with smp_process_id and
migrate_disable when needed. This makes BTT operations preemptible, thus
permitting the use of spin_lock.

BUG example occurring when running ndctl tests on PREEMPT_RT kernel:

Thanks for the update to include the failure signature.
I read the commentary around migrate_disable(), and it makes sense to
use it as a replacement for disabling preemption here. I suppose at
some point there will be a move to remove migrate_disable(), and at
that point we'd have to rework this code to remove the implicit
lockless mode when operating under per-cpu assumptions. Until then,
