x86/percpu: Cure per CPU madness on UP
On UP builds Sparse complains rightfully about accesses to cpu_info with
per CPU accessors:
cacheinfo.c:282:30: sparse: warning: incorrect type in initializer (different address spaces)
cacheinfo.c:282:30: sparse: expected void const [noderef] __percpu *__vpp_verify
cacheinfo.c:282:30: sparse: got unsigned int *
The reason is that on UP builds cpu_info which is a per CPU variable on SMP
is mapped to boot_cpu_info which is a regular variable. There is a hideous
accessor cpu_data() which tries to hide this, but it's not sufficient as
some places require raw accessors and generates worse code than the regular
per CPU accessors.
Waste sizeof(struct x86_cpuinfo) memory on UP and provide the per CPU
cpu_info unconditionally. This requires to update the CPU info on the boot
CPU as SMP does. (Ab)use the weakly defined smp_prepare_boot_cpu() function
and implement exactly that.
This allows to use regular per CPU accessors uncoditionally and paves the
way to remove the cpu_data() hackery.
