arm64: assembler: introduce ldr_this_cpu
Shortly we will want to load a percpu variable in the return from userspace path. We can save an instruction by folding the addition of the percpu offset into the load instruction, and this patch adds a new helper to do so. At the same time, we clean up this_cpu_ptr for consistency. As with {adr,ldr,str}_l, we change the template to take the destination register first, and name this dst. Secondly, we rename the macro to adr_this_cpu, following the scheme of adr_l, and matching the newly added ldr_this_cpu.
