module: Use this_cpu_xx to dynamically allocate counters
Use cpu ops to deal with the per cpu data instead of a local_t. Reduces memory requirements, cache footprint and decreases cycle counts. The this_cpu_xx operations are also used for !SMP mode. Otherwise we could not drop the use of __module_ref_addr() which would make per cpu data handling complicated. this_cpu_xx operations have their own fallback for !SMP. V8-V9: - Leave include asm/module.h since ringbuffer.c depends on it. Nothing else does though. Another patch will deal with that. - Remove spurious free.
