x86/hyperv: Don't use percpu areas for pcpu_flush/pcpu_flush_ex structures

Browse source

hv_do_hypercall() does virt_to_phys() translation and with some configs
(CONFIG_SLAB) this doesn't work for percpu areas, we pass wrong memory to
hypervisor and get #GP. We could use working slow_virt_to_phys() instead
but doing so kills the performance.

Move pcpu_flush/pcpu_flush_ex structures out of percpu areas and
allocate memory on first call. The additional level of indirection gives
us a small performance penalty, in future we may consider introducing
hypercall functions which avoid virt_to_phys() conversion and cache
physical addresses of pcpu_flush/pcpu_flush_ex structures somewhere.
