In slab_alloc_node() and do_slab_free() fastpaths we need to guarantee that our kmem_cache_cpu pointer is from the same cpu as the tid value. Currently that's done by reading the tid first using this_cpu_read(), then the kmem_cache_cpu pointer and verifying we read the same tid using the pointer and plain READ_ONCE(). This can be simplified to just fetching kmem_cache_cpu pointer and then reading tid using the pointer. That guarantees they are from the same cpu. We don't need to read the tid using this_cpu_read() because the value will be validated by this_cpu_cmpxchg_double(), making sure we are on the correct cpu and the freelist didn't change by anyone preempting us since reading the tid.
