Tejun Heo bbddff0545 percpu: use percpu allocator on UP too
On UP, percpu allocations were redirected to kmalloc.  This has the
following problems.

* For certain amount of allocations (determined by
  PERCPU_DYNAMIC_EARLY_SLOTS and PERCPU_DYNAMIC_EARLY_SIZE), percpu
  allocator can be used before the usual kernel memory allocator is
  brought online.  On SMP, this is used to initialize the kernel
  memory allocator.

* percpu allocator honors alignment upto PAGE_SIZE but kmalloc()
  doesn't.  For example, workqueue makes use of larger alignments for
  cpu_workqueues.

Currently, users of percpu allocators need to handle UP differently,
which is somewhat fragile and ugly.  Other than small amount of
memory, there isn't much to lose by enabling percpu allocator on UP.
It can simply use kernel memory based chunk allocation which was added
for SMP archs w/o MMUs.

This patch removes mm/percpu_up.c, builds mm/percpu.c on UP too and
makes UP build use percpu-km.  As percpu addresses and kernel
addresses are always identity mapped and static percpu variables don't
need any special treatment, nothing is arch dependent and mm/percpu.c
implements generic setup_per_cpu_areas() for UP.

* mm/percpu-km.c - kernel memory based chunk allocation
*

*
* This file is released under the GPLv2.
*
* Chunks are allocated as a contiguous kernel memory using gfp
* allocation. This is to be used on nommu architectures.
*
* To use percpu-km,
*
* - define CONFIG_NEED_PER_CPU_KM from the arch Kconfig.
*
* - CONFIG_NEED_PER_CPU_PAGE_FIRST_CHUNK must not be defined. It's
* not compatible with PER_CPU_KM. EMBED_FIRST_CHUNK should work
* fine.
*
* - NUMA is not supported. When setting up the first chunk,
* @cpu_distance_fn should be NULL or report all CPUs to be nearer
* than or at LOCAL_DISTANCE.
*
* - It's best if the chunk size is power of two multiple of
* PAGE_SIZE. Because each chunk is allocated as a contiguous
* kernel memory block using alloc_pages(), memory will be wasted if
* chunk size is not aligned. percpu-km code will whine about it.
