linker script: use separate simpler definition for PERCPU()

Impact: fix linker screwup on x86_32

Recent x86_64 zerobased patches introduced PERCPU_VADDR() to put
.data.percpu to a predefined address and re-defined PERCPU() in terms
of it.  The new macro defined one extra symbol, __per_cpu_load, for
LMA of the section so that the init data could be accessed.  This new
symbol introduced the following problems to x86_32.

1. If __per_cpu_load is defined outside of .data.percpu as an absolute
   symbol, relocation generation for relocatable kernel fails due to
   absolute relocation.

2. If __per_cpu_load is put inside .data.percpu with absolute address
   assignment to work around #1, linker gets confused and under
   certain configurations ends up relocating the symbol against
   .data.percpu such that the load address gets added on top of
   already set load address.

As x86_32 doesn't use predefined address for .data.percpu, there's no
need for it to care about the possibility of __per_cpu_load being
different from __per_cpu_start.

This patch defines PERCPU() separately so that __per_cpu_load is
defined inside .data.percpu so that everything is ordinary
linking-wise.
