x86/percpu: Use compiler segment prefix qualifier
Using a segment prefix qualifier is cleaner than using a segment prefix in the inline assembly, and provides the compiler with more information, telling it that __seg_gs:[addr] is different than [addr] when it analyzes data dependencies. It also enables various optimizations that will be implemented in the next patches. Use segment prefix qualifiers when they are supported. Unfortunately, gcc does not provide a way to remove segment qualifiers, which is needed to use typeof() to create local instances of the per-CPU variable. For this reason, do not use the segment qualifier for per-CPU variables, and do casting using the segment qualifier instead. Uros: Improve compiler support detection and update the patch to the current mainline.
