percpu: make the asm-generic/percpu.h more "generic"

- add support for PER_CPU_ATTRIBUTES

- fix generic smp percpu_modcopy to use per_cpu_offset() macro.

Add the ability to use generic/percpu even if the arch needs to override
several aspects of its operations. This will enable the use of generic
percpu.h for all arches.

An arch may define:

__per_cpu_offset	Do not use the generic pointer array. Arch must
			define per_cpu_offset(cpu) (used by x86_64, s390).

__my_cpu_offset		Can be defined to provide an optimized way to determine
			the offset for variables of the currently executing
			processor. Used by ia64, x86_64, x86_32, sparc64, s/390.

SHIFT_PTR(ptr, offset)	If an arch defines it then special handling
			of pointer arithmentic may be implemented. Used
			by s/390.

(Some of these special percpu arch implementations may be later consolidated
so that there are less cases to deal with.)
