x86: use linker to offset symbols by __per_cpu_load

Impact: cleanup and bug fix

Use the linker to create symbols for certain per-cpu variables
that are offset by __per_cpu_load.  This allows the removal of
the runtime fixup of the GDT pointer, which fixes a bug with
resume reported by Jiri Slaby.
