x86/percpu: Introduce %rip-relative addressing to PER_CPU_VAR()
Introduce x86_64 %rip-relative addressing to the PER_CPU_VAR() macro.
Instructions using %rip-relative address operand are one byte shorter
than their absolute address counterparts and are also compatible with
position independent executable (-fpie) builds. The patch reduces
code size of a test kernel build by 150 bytes.
The PER_CPU_VAR() macro is intended to be applied to a symbol and should
not be used with register operands. Introduce the new __percpu macro and
use it in cmpxchg{8,16}b_emu.S instead.
Also add a missing function comment to this_cpu_cmpxchg8b_emu().
No functional changes intended.
