Nobody seems to be producing !SMP systems anymore, so this is just
becoming a source of kernel bugs, particularly if people want to use
coherent DMA with non-shared pages.
This patch forces CONFIG_SMP=y for arm64, removing a modest amount of
code in the process.

this_cpu operations were implemented for arm64 in:
5284e1b arm64: xchg: Implement cmpxchg_double
f97fc81 arm64: percpu: Implement this_cpu operations
Unfortunately, it is possible for pre-emption to take place between
address generation and data access. This can lead to cases where data
is being manipulated by this_cpu for a different CPU than it was
called on. Which effectively breaks the spec.
This patch disables pre-emption for the this_cpu operations
guaranteeing that address generation and data manipulation take place
without a pre-emption in-between.

The generic this_cpu operations disable interrupts to ensure that the
requested operation is protected from pre-emption. For arm64, this is
overkill and can hurt throughput and latency.
This patch provides arm64 specific implementations for the this_cpu
operations. Rather than disable interrupts, we use the exclusive
monitor or atomic operations as appropriate.
The following operations are implemented: add, add_return, and, or,
read, write, xchg. We also wire up a cmpxchg implementation from
cmpxchg.h.
Testing was performed using the percpu_test module and hackbench on a
Juno board running 3.18-rc4.

Commit fb4a96029c (arm64: kernel: fix per-cpu offset restore on
resume) uses per_cpu_offset() unconditionally during CPU wakeup,
however, this is only defined for the SMP case.
