percpu: make embedding first chunk allocator check vmalloc space size
Embedding first chunk allocator maintains the distances between units
in the vmalloc area and thus needs vmalloc space to be larger than the
maximum distances between units; otherwise, it wouldn't be able to
create any dynamic chunks. This patch makes the embedding first chunk
allocator check vmalloc space size and if the maximum distance between
units is larger than 75% of it, print warning and, if page mapping
allocator is available, fail initialization so that the system falls
back onto it.
This should work around percpu allocation failure problems on certain
sparc64 configurations where distances between NUMA nodes are larger
than the vmalloc area and makes percpu allocator more robust for
future configurations.
