[PATCH v4 5/6] percpu: Repurpose __percpu tag as a named address space qualifier

[Uros Bizjak <ubizjak@gmail.com>]

The patch introduces __percpu_qual define and repurposes __percpu
tag as a named address space qualifier using the new define.

Arches can now conditionally define __percpu_qual as their
named address space qualifier for percpu variables.
