x86, percpu: Optimize this_cpu_ptr

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.
