Add ERR_PTR_PCPU(), PTR_ERR_PCPU() and IS_ERR_PCPU() macros that operate on pointers in the percpu address space. These macros remove the need for (__force void *) function argument casts (to avoid sparse -Wcast-from-as warnings). The patch will also avoid future build errors due to pointer address space mismatch with enabled strict percpu address space checks.
