x86, percpu: Add 'percpu_read_stable()' interface for cacheable accesses

This is very useful for some common things like 'get_current()' and
'get_thread_info()', which can be used multiple times in a function, and
where the result is cacheable.

tj: Added the magical undocumented "P" modifier to UP __percpu_arg()
to force gcc to dereference the pointer value passed in via the
"p" input constraint. Without this, percpu_read_stable() returns
the address of the percpu variable. Also added comment explaining
the difference between percpu_read() and percpu_read_stable().

x86,percpu: generalize lpage first chunk allocator

Generalize and move x86 setup_pcpu_lpage() into
pcpu_lpage_first_chunk(). setup_pcpu_lpage() now is a simple wrapper
around the generalized version. Other than taking size parameters and
using arch supplied callbacks to allocate/free/map memory,
pcpu_lpage_first_chunk() is identical to the original implementation.

This simplifies arch code and will help converting more archs to
dynamic percpu allocator.

While at it, factor out pcpu_calc_fc_sizes() which is common to
pcpu_embed_first_chunk() and pcpu_lpage_first_chunk().

[ Impact: code reorganization and generalization ]

x86: fix pageattr handling for lpage percpu allocator and re-enable it

lpage allocator aliases a PMD page for each cpu and returns whatever
is unused to the page allocator. When the pageattr of the recycled
pages are changed, this makes the two aliases point to the overlapping
regions with different attributes which isn't allowed and known to
cause subtle data corruption in certain cases.

This can be handled in simliar manner to the x86_64 highmap alias.
pageattr code should detect if the target pages have PMD alias and
split the PMD alias and synchronize the attributes.

pcpur allocator is updated to keep the allocated PMD pages map sorted
in ascending address order and provide pcpu_lpage_remapped() function
which binary searches the array to determine whether the given address
is aliased and if so to which address. pageattr is updated to use
pcpu_lpage_remapped() to detect the PMD alias and split it up as
necessary from cpa_process_alias().

Jan Beulich spotted the original problem and incorrect usage of vaddr
instead of laddr for lookup.

With this, lpage percpu allocator should work correctly. Re-enable
it.
