arm64: percpu: Fix LSE operations on {8,16}-bit types
The assembly for __percpu_##name##_case_##sz() and
__percpu_##name##_return_case_##sz() doesn't use the 'sfx' macro
argument to form the LSE instruction. Without 'sfx', a W register
argument will imply a 32-bit memory location, and consequently
{8,16}-bit ops will erroneously read and write 32 bits of memory when
the LSE instruction is used.
Fix this by appending 'sfx' to 'op_lse' to LSE instruction. It is not
necessary (and not valid) to append 'sfx' to 'op_llsc', as 'op_llsc' is
a register-register operation which does not access memory (and does not
take a size suffix).
Default status is the baseline for the product, each version can override it (e.g. patched versions marked unaffected).
