[v2,1/2] err.h: Add ERR_PTR_PCPU(), PTR_ERR_PCPU() and IS_ERR_PCPU() macros

Commit Message

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.
