modules: fix incorrect percpu usage

Mainline does not need this fix, as commit
259354de fixed the problem by refactoring.

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 6b588c18

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)
