[PATCH] per_cpu: fix DEFINE_PER_CPU_SHARED_ALIGNED for modules

[Eric Dumazet]

Andrew,

A typo was included in the patch I sent yesterday, since I was testing :

#ifdef CONFIG_MODULES

while the intention was to test

#ifdef MODULE

So that all SHARED_ALIGNED vmlinux percpu variables still are in the 
special section.
The fix is only needed when compiling modules.

Thank you

[PATCH] per_cpu: fix DEFINE_PER_CPU_SHARED_ALIGNED for modules

Current module loader lookups ".data.percpu" ELF section to perform
per_cpu relocation. But DEFINE_PER_CPU_SHARED_ALIGNED()
uses another section (".data.percpu.shared_aligned"), currently only
handled in vmlinux.lds, not by module loader.

To correct this problem, instead of adding logic into module loader,
or using at build time a module.lds file for all arches to group
".data.percpu.shared_aligned"  into ".data.percpu",
just use ".data.percpu" for modules.

Alignment requirements are correctly handled by ld and module loader.
