numa: add generic percpu var numa_node_id() implementation
Rework the generic version of the numa_node_id() function to use the new generic percpu variable infrastructure. Guard the new implementation with a new config option: CONFIG_USE_PERCPU_NUMA_NODE_ID. Archs which support this new implemention will default this option to 'y' when NUMA is configured. This config option could be removed if/when all archs switch over to the generic percpu implementation of numa_node_id(). Arch support involves: 1) converting any existing per cpu variable implementations to use this implementation. x86_64 is an instance of such an arch. 2) archs that don't use a per cpu variable for numa_node_id() will need to initialize the new per cpu variable "numa_node" as cpus are brought on-line. ia64 is an example. 3) Defining USE_PERCPU_NUMA_NODE_ID in arch dependent Kconfig--e.g., when NUMA is configured. This is required because I have retained the old implementation by default to allow archs to be modified incrementally, as desired. Subsequent patches will convert x86_64 and ia64 to use this implemenation.
