Eliminate the unlikely possibility of message interleaving for
early_printk/early_vprintk use.

early_vprintk can be done via the %pV extension so remove this
unnecessary function and change early_printk to have the equivalent
vprintk code.

All uses of early_printk already end with a newline so also remove the
unnecessary newline from the early_printk function.

The PCI/MSI irq chip callbacks mask/unmask_msi_irq have been renamed
to pci_msi_mask/unmask_irq to mark them PCI specific. Rename all usage
sites. The conversion helper functions are kept around to avoid
conflicts in next and will be removed after merging into mainline.

Coccinelle assisted conversion. No functional change.

Not only memcpy() is faster than pointer copy, but also let code more
clearer and simple, which can avoid compiling warning (the original
implementation copy registers by exceeding member array border).

Pull percpu consistent-ops changes from Tejun Heo:
 "Way back, before the current percpu allocator was implemented, static
  and dynamic percpu memory areas were allocated and handled separately
  and had their own accessors.  The distinction has been gone for many
  years now; however, the now duplicate two sets of accessors remained
  with the pointer based ones - this_cpu_*() - evolving various other
  operations over time.  During the process, we also accumulated other
  inconsistent operations.

  This pull request contains Christoph's patches to clean up the

Pull percpu consistent-ops changes from Tejun Heo:
 "Way back, before the current percpu allocator was implemented, static
  and dynamic percpu memory areas were allocated and handled separately
  and had their own accessors.  The distinction has been gone for many
  years now; however, the now duplicate two sets of accessors remained
  with the pointer based ones - this_cpu_*() - evolving various other
  operations over time.  During the process, we also accumulated other
  inconsistent operations.

  This pull request contains Christoph's patches to clean up the
  duplicate accessor situation.  __get_cpu_var() uses are replaced with
  with this_cpu_ptr() and __this_cpu_ptr() with raw_cpu_ptr().
