Subject[PATCH -stable] modules fix incorrect percpu usage
Should use per_cpu_ptr() to obfuscate the per cpu pointers (RELOC_HIDE is needed
for per cpu pointers).

Introduced by commit:

module.c: commit 6b588c18f8dacfa6d7957c33c5ff832096e752d3

This patch should be queued for the stable branch, for kernels 2.6.29.x to
2.6.33.x.
(tested on 2.6.33.1 x86_64)
