Use get_local_ptr() vs this_cpu_ptr().

This looks wrong. On mainline the calling code must have preemption disable
somehow, otherwise this_cpu_ptr() would not work.

This was introduced by Mike in a previous patch. The zstrm is only
accessed while the spinlock is held.

Looking at the call site it is;

	zram_slot_lock()
	  bit_spin_lock()

which is of course evading lockdep and everything else debugging wise.

Sebastian, do we have migration protection in bitlocked regions? And we
shpuld look into converting that into a spinlock on rt.

zram_lock_table() is bit_spin_lock() on !RT and spin_lock(&table->lock);
on RT. So this is done.
!RT has this running in a kmap_atomic() section so they have no
preemption there.
zcomp_stream_get() returns a per-CPU object which is protected with a
spinlock and only accessed locked.

Thanks,
