Introduce PERCPU_PTR() macro to cast the percpu pointer from
the percpu address space to a generic (kernel) address space.
Use it in per_cpu_ptr() and related SHIFT_PERCPU_PTR() macros.

Also remove common knowledge from SHIFT_PERCPU_PTR() comment,
"weird cast" is just a standard way to inform sparse of a cast
from the percpu address space to a generic address space.
