    arm64: assembler: introduce ldr_this_cpu · 1b7e2296

    Shortly we will want to load a percpu variable in the return from
    userspace path. We can save an instruction by folding the addition of
    the percpu offset into the load instruction, and this patch adds a new
    helper to do so.
    
    At the same time, we clean up this_cpu_ptr for consistency. As with
    {adr,ldr,str}_l, we change the template to take the destination register
    first, and name this dst. Secondly, we rename the macro to adr_this_cpu,
    following the scheme of adr_l, and matching the newly added
    ldr_this_cpu.
