percpu: align percpu readmostly subsection to cacheline
Currently percpu readmostly subsection may share cachelines with other
percpu subsections which may result in unnecessary cacheline bounce
and performance degradation.

This patch adds @cacheline parameter to PERCPU() and PERCPU_VADDR()
linker macros, makes each arch linker scripts specify its cacheline
size and use it to align percpu subsections.

This is based on Shaohua's x86 only patch.
