Per-cpu buffers can be wasteful when the number of CPUs is large, especially if the buffer itself is likely to never be used. Reduce such wastage by only allocating them on first use of a particular CPU. On start-up allocate a single buffer on the first possible CPU. For every other CPU a work struct will be scheduled on first use to allocate the buffer for that CPU. Until the allocation succeeds simply use the first CPU's buffer which is protected under a spin lock. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
