CPU: abstract read-mostly-ness for per-CPU cpumask_var_t variables

cpumask_var_t can resolve to a pointer or to an array. While the pointer
typically is allocated once for a CPU and then only read (i.e. wants to be
marked read-mostly), the same isn't necessarily true for the array case.
There things depend on how the variable is actually used. cpu_core_mask
and cpu_sibling_mask (which all architectures have inherited from x86,
which in turn is possibly wrong) are altered only as CPUs are brought up
or down, so may remain uniformly read-mostly. Other (x86-only) instances
want to change, to avoid disturbing adjacent read-mostly data.

While doing the x86 adjustment, also do one in the opposite direction,
i.e. where there was no read-mostly annotation when it is applicable in
the "pointer" case.
