x86: fix incorrect __read_mostly on _boot_cpu_pda The pda rework (commit 3461b0af025251bbc6b3d56c821c6ac2de6f7209) to remove static boot cpu pdas introduced a performance bug. _boot_cpu_pda is the actual pda used by the boot cpu and is definitely not "__read_mostly" and ended up polluting the read mostly section with writes. This bug caused regression of about 8-10% on certain syscall intensive workloads.
