Hao Ge 59b5ed409d mm/percpu: conditionally define _shared_alloc_tag via CONFIG_ARCH_MODULE_NEEDS_WEAK_PER_CPU
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.
