Mukesh Ojha 43b9e4febc perf/core: Declare the __percpu attribute on non-deref types
Sparse reports the current declaration of two perf percpu variables
with this warning:

  warning: incorrect type in initializer (different address spaces)
         expected void const [noderef] <asn:3>*__vpp_verify
         got struct perf_cpu_context *<noident>

While it's normally perfectly fine to place GCC attributes anywhere
in the definition, this particular attribute is for a checking
compiler's such as Sparse's benefit, which doesn't want __percpu
on pointers.

So reorder the attribute to come after the structure type, not after
the pointer type.

[ mingo: Rewrote the changelog. ]

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
