Tejun Heo 664646c586 percpu: fix synchronization between synchronous map extension and chunk destruction ...

[ Upstream commit 6710e594f7 ]

For non-atomic allocations, pcpu_alloc() can try to extend the area
map synchronously after dropping pcpu_lock; however, the extension
wasn't synchronized against chunk destruction and the chunk might get
freed while extension is in progress.

This patch fixes the bug by putting most of non-atomic allocations
under pcpu_alloc_mutex to synchronize against pcpu_balance_work which
is responsible for async chunk management including destruction.
