The cache parameter of getcpu() is useless nowadays for various reasons.
* It is never passed by userspace for either the vDSO or syscalls.
* It is never used by the kernel.
* It could not be made to work on the current vDSO architecture.
* The structure definition is not part of the UAPI headers.
* vdso_getcpu() is superseded by restartable sequences in any case.
Remove the struct and its header.
As a side-effect this gets rid of an unwanted inclusion of the linux/
header namespace from vDSO code.

Current minimum required version of binutils is 2.25,
which supports PAUSE instruction mnemonic.
Replace "REP; NOP" with this proper mnemonic.
No functional change intended.

While the GCC and Clang compilers already define __ASSEMBLER__
automatically when compiling assembly code, __ASSEMBLY__ is a
macro that only gets defined by the Makefiles in the kernel.
This can be very confusing when switching between userspace
and kernelspace coding, or when dealing with UAPI headers that
rather should use __ASSEMBLER__ instead. So let's standardize on
the __ASSEMBLER__ macro that is provided by the compilers now.
This is mostly a mechanical patch (done with a simple "sed -i"
statement), with some manual tweaks in <asm/frame.h>, <asm/hw_irq.h>
and <asm/setup.h> that mentioned this macro in comments with some
missing underscores.
