Subject: x86, espfix: Move espfix definitions into a separate header file
From: "H. Peter Anvin" <hpa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit e1fe9ed8d2a4937510d0d60e20705035c2609aea upstream.
Sparse warns that the percpu variables aren't declared before they are
defined. Rather than hacking around it, move espfix definitions into
a proper header file.
