x86/segments: Introduce the 'CPUNODE' naming to better document the segment limit CPU/node NR trick 

We have a special segment descriptor entry in the GDT, whose sole purpose is to
encode the CPU and node numbers in its limit (size) field. There are user-space
instructions that allow the reading of the limit field, which gives us a really
fast way to read the CPU and node IDs from the vDSO for example.

But the naming of related functionality does not make this clear, at all:

	VDSO_CPU_SIZE
	VDSO_CPU_MASK
	__CPU_NUMBER_SEG
	GDT_ENTRY_CPU_NUMBER
	vdso_encode_cpu_node
	vdso_read_cpu_node

There's a number of problems:

 - The 'VDSO_CPU_SIZE' doesn't really make it clear that these are number
   of bits, nor does it make it clear which 'CPU' this refers to, i.e.
   that this is about a GDT entry whose limit encodes the CPU and node number.

 - Furthermore, the 'CPU_NUMBER' naming is actively misleading as well,
   because the segment limit encodes not just the CPU number but the
   node ID as well ...

So use a better nomenclature all around: name everything related to this trick
as 'CPUNODE', to make it clear that this is something special, and add
_BITS to make it clear that these are number of bits, and propagate this to
every affected name:

	VDSO_CPU_SIZE         =>  VDSO_CPUNODE_BITS
	VDSO_CPU_MASK         =>  VDSO_CPUNODE_MASK
	__CPU_NUMBER_SEG      =>  __CPUNODE_SEG
	GDT_ENTRY_CPU_NUMBER  =>  GDT_ENTRY_CPUNODE
	vdso_encode_cpu_node  =>  vdso_encode_cpunode
	vdso_read_cpu_node    =>  vdso_read_cpunode

This, beyond being less confusing, also makes it easier to grep for all related
functionality:

  $ git grep -i cpunode arch/x86

Also, while at it, fix "return is not a function" style sloppiness in vdso_encode_cpunode().
