percpu: add optimized generic percpu accessors

It is an optimization and a cleanup, and adds the following new
generic percpu methods:

  percpu_read()
  percpu_write()
  percpu_add()
  percpu_sub()
  percpu_and()
  percpu_or()
  percpu_xor()

and implements support for them on x86. (other architectures will fall
back to a default implementation)

The advantage is that for example to read a local percpu variable,
instead of this sequence:

 return __get_cpu_var(var);

 ffffffff8102ca2b:	48 8b 14 fd 80 09 74 	mov    -0x7e8bf680(,%rdi,8),%rdx
 ffffffff8102ca32:	81
 ffffffff8102ca33:	48 c7 c0 d8 59 00 00 	mov    $0x59d8,%rax
 ffffffff8102ca3a:	48 8b 04 10          	mov    (%rax,%rdx,1),%rax

We can get a single instruction by using the optimized variants:

 return percpu_read(var);

 ffffffff8102ca3f:	65 48 8b 05 91 8f fd 	mov    %gs:0x7efd8f91(%rip),%rax

I also cleaned up the x86-specific APIs and made the x86 code use
these new generic percpu primitives.

tj: * fixed generic percpu_sub() definition as Roel Kluin pointed out
    * added percpu_and() for completeness's sake
    * made generic percpu ops atomic against preemption
