x86, percpu: silence section mismatch warnings related to EARLY_PER_CPU variables

Quoting Mike Travis in "x86: cleanup early per cpu variables/accesses v4"
(23ca4bba3e20c6c3cb11c1bb0ab4770b724d39ac):

    The DEFINE macro defines the per_cpu variable as well as the early
    map and pointer.  It also initializes the per_cpu variable and map
    elements to "_initvalue".  The early_* macros provide access to
    the initial map (usually setup during system init) and the early
    pointer.  This pointer is initialized to point to the early map
    but is then NULL'ed when the actual per_cpu areas are setup.  After
    that the per_cpu variable is the correct access to the variable.

As these variables are NULL'ed before __init sections are dropped
(in setup_per_cpu_maps), they can be safely annotated as __ref.

This change silences following section mismatch warnings:

WARNING: vmlinux.o(.data+0x46c0): Section mismatch in reference from the variable x86_cpu_to_apicid_early_ptr to the variable .init.data:x86_cpu_to_apicid_early_map
The variable x86_cpu_to_apicid_early_ptr references
the variable __initdata x86_cpu_to_apicid_early_map
If the reference is valid then annotate the
variable with __init* (see linux/init.h) or name the variable:
*driver, *_template, *_timer, *_sht, *_ops, *_probe, *_probe_one, *_console,

WARNING: vmlinux.o(.data+0x46c8): Section mismatch in reference from the variable x86_bios_cpu_apicid_early_ptr to the variable .init.data:x86_bios_cpu_apicid_early_map
The variable x86_bios_cpu_apicid_early_ptr references
the variable __initdata x86_bios_cpu_apicid_early_map
If the reference is valid then annotate the
variable with __init* (see linux/init.h) or name the variable:
*driver, *_template, *_timer, *_sht, *_ops, *_probe, *_probe_one, *_console,

WARNING: vmlinux.o(.data+0x46d0): Section mismatch in reference from the variable x86_cpu_to_node_map_early_ptr to the variable .init.data:x86_cpu_to_node_map_early_map
The variable x86_cpu_to_node_map_early_ptr references
the variable __initdata x86_cpu_to_node_map_early_map
If the reference is valid then annotate the
variable with __init* (see linux/init.h) or name the variable:
*driver, *_template, *_timer, *_sht, *_ops, *_probe, *_probe_one, *_console,
