x86: make pda a percpu variable

[ Based on original patch from Christoph Lameter and Mike Travis. ]

As pda is now allocated in percpu area, it can easily be made a proper
percpu variable.  Make it so by defining per cpu symbol from linker
script and declaring it in C code for SMP and simply defining it for
UP.  This change cleans up code and brings SMP and UP closer a bit.
