linker script: define __per_cpu_load on all SMP capable archs
Impact: __per_cpu_load available on all SMP capable archs Percpu now requires three symbols to be defined - __per_cpu_load, __per_cpu_start and __per_cpu_end. There were three archs which didn't have it. Update them as follows. * powerpc: can use generic PERCPU() macro. Compile tested for powerpc32, compile/boot tested for powerpc64. * ia64: can use generic PERCPU_VADDR() macro. __phys_per_cpu_start is identical to __per_cpu_load. Compile tested and symbol table looks identical after the change except for the additional __per_cpu_load. * arm: added explicit __per_cpu_load definition. Currently uses unified .init output section so can't use the generic macro. Dunno whether the unified .init ouput section is required by arch peculiarity so I left it alone. Please break it up and use PERCPU() if possible.
