scripts/gdb: add $lx_per_cpu_ptr()

We currently have $lx_per_cpu() which works fine for stuff that kernel
code would access via per_cpu().  But this doesn't work for stuff that
kernel code accesses via per_cpu_ptr():

(gdb) p $lx_per_cpu(node_data[1].node_zones[2]->per_cpu_pageset)
Cannot access memory at address 0xffff11105fbd6c28

This is because we take the address of the pointer and use that as the
offset, instead of using the stored value.

Add a GDB version that mirrors the kernel API, which uses the pointer
value.

To be consistent with per_cpu_ptr(), we need to return the pointer value
instead of dereferencing it for the user.  Therefore, move the existing
dereference out of the per_cpu() Python helper and do that only in the
$lx_per_cpu() implementation.
