x86/percpu: Declare const_pcpu_hot as extern const variable

const_pcpu_hot is aliased by linker to pcpu_hot, so there is no need
to use the DECLARE_PER_CPU_ALIGNED() macro. Also, declare const_pcpu_hot
as extern to avoid allocating storage space for the aliased structure.

Fixes: ed2f752e0e0a ("x86/percpu: Introduce const-qualified const_pcpu_hot to micro-optimize code generation")
