percpu: restructure locking

Browse Source 
At first, the percpu allocator required a sleepable context for both
alloc and free paths and used pcpu_alloc_mutex to protect everything.
Later, pcpu_lock was introduced to protect the index data structure so
that the free path can be invoked from atomic contexts.  The
conversion only updated what's necessary and left most of the
allocation path under pcpu_alloc_mutex.

The percpu allocator is planned to add support for atomic allocation
and this patch restructures locking so that the coverage of
pcpu_alloc_mutex is further reduced.

* pcpu_alloc() now grab pcpu_alloc_mutex only while creating a new
  chunk and populating the allocated area.  Everything else is now
  protected soley by pcpu_lock.

  After this change, multiple instances of pcpu_extend_area_map() may
  race but the function already implements sufficient synchronization
  using pcpu_lock.

  This also allows multiple allocators to arrive at new chunk
  creation.  To avoid creating multiple empty chunks back-to-back, a
  new chunk is created iff there is no other empty chunk after
  grabbing pcpu_alloc_mutex.

* pcpu_lock is now held while modifying chunk->populated bitmap.
  After this, all data structures are protected by pcpu_lock.

/*
* Synchronization rules.
*
* There are two locks - pcpu_alloc_mutex and pcpu_lock. The former
* protects allocation/reclaim paths, chunks, populated bitmap and
* vmalloc mapping. The latter is a spinlock and protects the index
* data structures - chunk slots, chunks and area maps in chunks.
*
* During allocation, pcpu_alloc_mutex is kept locked all the time and
* pcpu_lock is grabbed and released as necessary. All actual memory
* allocations are done using GFP_KERNEL with pcpu_lock released. In
* general, percpu memory can't be allocated with irq off but
* irqsave/restore are still used in alloc path so that it can be used
* from early init path - sched_init() specifically.
*
* Free path accesses and alters only the index data structures, so it
* can be safely called from atomic context. When memory needs to be
* returned to the system, free path schedules reclaim_work which
* grabs both pcpu_alloc_mutex and pcpu_lock, unlinks chunks to be
* reclaimed, release both locks and frees the chunks. Note that it's
* necessary to grab both locks to remove a chunk from circulation as
* allocation path might be referencing the chunk with only
* pcpu_alloc_mutex locked.
* Free path accesses and alters only the index data structures and can be
* safely called from atomic context. When memory needs to be returned to
* the system, free path schedules reclaim_work.
