Allow arches to implement __this_cpu_ptr, and provide an x86 version.
Before:
movq $foo, %rax
movq %gs:this_cpu_off, %rdx
addq %rdx, %rax
After:
movq $foo, %rax
addq %gs:this_cpu_off, %rax
The benefit is doing it in one less instruction and not clobbering
a temporary register.
tj: * Beefed up the comment a bit and renamed in-macro temp variable
to match neighboring macros.
* Folded fix for const pointer case found in linux-next.
* Fixed sparse notation.
