x86/percpu: Introduce const-qualified const_pcpu_hot to micro-optimize code generation

Some variables in pcpu_hot, currently current_task and top_of_stack
are actually per-thread variables implemented as per-CPU variables
and thus stable for the duration of the respective task. There is
already an attempt to eliminate redundant reads from these variables
using this_cpu_read_stable() asm macro, which hides the dependency
on the read memory address. However, the compiler has limited ability
to eliminate asm common subexpressions, so this approach results in a
limited success.

The solution is to allow more aggressive elimination by aliasing
pcpu_hot into a const-qualified const_pcpu_hot, and to read stable
per-CPU variables from this constant copy.

The current per-CPU infrastructure does not support reads from
const-qualified variables. However, when the compiler supports segment
qualifiers, it is possible to declare the const-aliased variable in
the relevant named address space. The compiler considers access to the
variable, declared in this way, as a read from a constant location,
and will optimize reads from the variable accordingly.

By implementing constant-qualified const_pcpu_hot, the compiler can
eliminate redundant reads from the constant variables, reducing the
number of loads from current_task from 3766 to 3217 on a test build,
a -14.6% reduction.

The reduction of loads translates to the following code savings:

text data bss dec hex filename
25,477,353 4389456 808452 30675261 1d4113d vmlinux-old.o
25,476,074 4389440 808452 30673966 1d40c2e vmlinux-new.o

representing a code size reduction of -1279 bytes.
