x86/percpu: Differentiate this_cpu_{}() and __this_cpu_{}()
Nadav Amit reported that commit:
b59167ac7baf ("x86/percpu: Fix this_cpu_read()")
added a bunch of constraints to all sorts of code; and while some of
that was correct and desired, some of that seems superfluous.
The thing is, the this_cpu_*() operations are defined IRQ-safe, this
means the values are subject to change from IRQs, and thus must be
reloaded.
Also, the generic form:
local_irq_save()
__this_cpu_read()
local_irq_restore()
would not allow the re-use of previous values; if by nothing else,
then the barrier()s implied by local_irq_*().
Which raises the point that percpu_from_op() and the others also need
that volatile.
OTOH __this_cpu_*() operations are not IRQ-safe and assume external
preempt/IRQ disabling and could thus be allowed more room for
optimization.
This makes the this_cpu_*() vs __this_cpu_*() behaviour more
consistent with other architectures.
