__get_cpu_var() is a bit inefficient, lets use __this_cpu_read() and
__this_cpu_write() to manipulate printk_pending.

printk_needs_cpu(cpu) is called only for the current cpu :
Use faster __this_cpu_read().

Remove the redundant unlikely on (cpu_is_offline(cpu)) test:

 # size kernel/printk.o*
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   9942     756  263488  274186   42f0a kernel/printk.o.new
   9990     756  263488  274234   42f3a kernel/printk.o.old
