This patch updates percpu related symbols in powerpc such that percpu

two purposes of decreasing the possibility of global percpu symbol
collision and allowing dropping per_cpu__ prefix from percpu symbols.

Partly based on Rusty Russell's "alloc_percpu: rename percpu vars
which cause name clashes" patch.
