[PATCH] x86/percpu: Declare const_pcpu_hot as extern const variable
From: Uros Bizjak
Date: Thu Nov 30 2023 - 11:30:05 EST
const_pcpu_hot is aliased by linker to pcpu_hot, so there is no need
to use DECLARE_PER_CPU_ALIGNED macro. Also, declare const_pcpu_hot
as extern to avoid allocating storage space for the aliased structure.
