per_cpu: fix DEFINE_PER_CPU_SHARED_ALIGNED for modules
Current module loader lookups ".data.percpu" ELF section to perform
per_cpu relocation. But DEFINE_PER_CPU_SHARED_ALIGNED() uses another
section (".data.percpu.shared_aligned"), currently only handled in
vmlinux.lds, not by module loader.
To correct this problem, instead of adding logic into module loader, or
using at build time a module.lds file for all arches to group
".data.percpu.shared_aligned" into ".data.percpu", just use ".data.percpu"
for modules.
Alignment requirements are correctly handled by ld and module loader.
