net: xfrm: use __this_cpu_read per-cpu helper 

this_cpu_ptr/this_cpu_read is faster than per_cpu_ptr(p, smp_processor_id())
and can reduce  memory accesses.
The latter helper needs to find the offset for current cpu,
and needs more assembler instructions which objdump shows in following.

this_cpu_ptr relocates and address. this_cpu_read() relocates the address
and performs the fetch. this_cpu_read() saves you more instructions
since it can do the relocation and the fetch in one instruction.

per_cpu_ptr(p, smp_processor_id())：
  1e:   65 8b 04 25 00 00 00 00         mov    %gs:0x0,%eax
  26:   48 98                           cltq
  28:   31 f6                           xor    %esi,%esi
  2a:   48 c7 c7 00 00 00 00            mov    $0x0,%rdi
  31:   48 8b 04 c5 00 00 00 00         mov    0x0(,%rax,8),%rax
  39:   c7 44 10 04 14 00 00 00         movl   $0x14,0x4(%rax,%rdx,1)

this_cpu_ptr(p)
  1e:   65 48 03 14 25 00 00 00 00      add    %gs:0x0,%rdx
  27:   31 f6                           xor    %esi,%esi
  29:   c7 42 04 14 00 00 00            movl   $0x14,0x4(%rdx)
  30:   48 c7 c7 00 00 00 00            mov    $0x0,%rdi
