Currently, XPC's heartbeat timer function runs on whatever CPU modprobe/insmod
ran on when XPC was started. To avoid the heartbeat from being delayed for
long periods the timer function must run on CPU 0.

Another step in the effort to eliminate the SN pda structure.
This patch moves the cnodeid_to_nasid_table field out of the pda,
making it a standalone per-cpu data item, and exports it so it can
be accessed by kernel modules.
