[Devel] [PATCH vz8 v2] proc connector: protect from task cpu migration in send_msg_ve

this_cpu_ptr() should be used under local_lock() (or task migration
should be disabled instead), so switch the order.

Fixes: 0e60020d2a ("proc connector: take number of listeners and per-cpu
conters from VE")

v2:
 * instead of prohibiting migration of the task to another cpu let's
   just put this_cpu_ptr() after local_lock().
 * fix double this_cpu_ptr() (local_lock() contains the second one)
