tile: make __write_once a synonym for __read_mostly

This was really only useful for TILE64 when we mapped the
kernel data with small pages. Now we use a huge page and we
really don't want to map different parts of the kernel
data in different ways.

We retain the __write_once name in case we want to bring
it back to life at some point in the future.

Note that this change uncovered a latent bug where the
"smp_topology" variable happened to always be aligned mod 8
so we could store two "int" values at once, but when we
eliminated __write_once it ended up only aligned mod 4.
Fix with an explicit annotation.

- * Attribute for data that is kept read/write coherent until the end of

+ * Originally we used small TLB pages for kernel data and grouped some
+ * things together as "write once", enforcing the property at the end
+ * of initialization by making those pages read-only and non-coherent.
+ * This allowed better cache utilization since cache inclusion did not
+ * need to be maintained.  However, to do this requires an extra TLB
+ * entry, which on balance is more of a performance hit than the
+ * non-coherence is a performance gain, so we now just make "read
+ * mostly" and "write once" be synonyms.  We keep the attribute
+ * separate in case we change our minds at a future date.
