[v3,1/9] net: core: use this_cpu_ptr per-cpu helper

From: Shan Wei <davidshan@tencent.com>

flush_tasklet is a struct, not a pointer in percpu var.
so use this_cpu_ptr to get the member pointer.

this_cpu_write(info->cache->percpu->flush_tasklet->data, (unsigned
	long)info);

should also do the trick in less instructions and get rid of all temporary
variables as well.

Its not the case.

We need the _pointer_ to call :

tasklet_schedule(tasklet);
