arm64: make cpu number a percpu variable

In the absence of CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK, core code maintains
thread_info::cpu, and low-level architecture code can access this to
build raw_smp_processor_id(). With CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK, core code
maintains task_struct::cpu, which for reasons of hte header soup is not
accessible to low-level arch code.

Instead, we can maintain a percpu variable containing the cpu number.

For both the old and new implementation of raw_smp_processor_id(), we
read a syreg into a GPR, add an offset, and load the result. As the
offset is now larger, it may not be folded into the load, but otherwise
the assembly shouldn't change much.
