x86, percpu: Add 'percpu_read_stable()' interface for cacheable accesses
This is very useful for some common things like 'get_current()' and
'get_thread_info()', which can be used multiple times in a function, and
where the result is cacheable.
tj: Added the magical undocumented "P" modifier to UP __percpu_arg()
to force gcc to dereference the pointer value passed in via the
"p" input constraint. Without this, percpu_read_stable() returns
the address of the percpu variable. Also added comment explaining
the difference between percpu_read() and percpu_read_stable().
