    Add __percpu sparse annotations to hw_breakpoint.
    
    These annotations are to make sparse consider percpu variables to be
    in a different address space and warn if accessed without going
    through percpu accessors.  This patch doesn't affect normal builds.
    
    In kernel/hw_breakpoint.c, per_cpu(nr_task_bp_pinned, cpu)'s will
    trigger spurious noderef related warnings from sparse.  Changing it to
    &per_cpu(nr_task_bp_pinned[0], cpu) will work around the problem but
    deemed to ugly by the maintainer.  Leave it alone until better
    solution can be found.
