[PATCH 34/35] [PATCH 01/36] __get_cpu_var/cpumask_var_t: Resolve ambiguities

[Christoph Lameter]

__get_cpu_var can paper over differences in the definitions
of cpumask_var_t and either use the address of the cpumask
variable directly or perform a fetch of the address of the
struct cpumask allocated elsewhere. This is important
particularly when using per cpu cpumask_var_t declarations
because in one case we have an offset into a per cpu area
to handle and in the other case we need to fetch a pointer
from the offset.

This patch introduces a new macro

this_cpu_cpumask_var_t_ptr()

that is defined where cpumask_var_t is defined and performs
the proper actions. All use cases where __get_cpu_var
is used with cpumask_var_t are converted to the use
of this_cpu_cpumask_var_t_ptr().
