Subject: [PATCH v5 1/1] mm/percpu: Conditionally define _shared_alloc_tag via CONFIG_ARCH_MODULE_NEEDS_WEAK_PER_CPU

From: Hao Ge <gehao@...inos.cn>

Recently discovered this entry while checking kallsyms on ARM64:
ffff800083e509c0 D _shared_alloc_tag

If ARCH_NEEDS_WEAK_PER_CPU is not defined(it is only defined for
s390 and alpha architectures), there's no need to statically define
the percpu variable _shared_alloc_tag.

Therefore, we need to implement isolation for this purpose.

When building the core kernel code for s390 or alpha architectures,
ARCH_NEEDS_WEAK_PER_CPU remains undefined (as it is gated
by #if defined(MODULE)). However, when building modules for these
architectures, the macro is explicitly defined.

Therefore, we remove all instances of ARCH_NEEDS_WEAK_PER_CPU from
the code and introduced CONFIG_ARCH_MODULE_NEEDS_WEAK_PER_CPU to
replace the relevant logic. We can now conditionally define the perpcu
variable _shared_alloc_tag based on CONFIG_ARCH_MODULE_NEEDS_WEAK_PER_CPU.
This allows architectures (such as s390/alpha) that require weak
definitions for percpu variables in modules to include the definition,
while others can omit it via compile-time exclusion.
