Zi Yan 89b1b79c30 mm/percpu-km: fix bitmap overflow and accounting in pcpu_create_chunk()
In pcpu_create_chunk(), nr_pages is the total contiguous backing
allocation, i.e., nr_units * pcpu_unit_pages, but pcpu_chunk_populated()
uses it to set chunk->populated, whose size is pcpu_unit_pages, bitmap. 
Since bit N in chunk->populated means page offset N inside every unit is
backed.  When nr_units > 1, the function writes beyond chunk->populated. 
Fix it by using chunk->nr_pages.

It also fixes the global pcpu_nr_empty_pop_pages accounting, since
pcpu_balance_free() only iterates up to chunk->nr_pages.

Commit a63d4ac4ab ("percpu: make percpu-km set chunk->populated bitmap
properly") introduced the bitmap overflow issue.  Later, commit
b539b87fed ("percpu: implmeent pcpu_nr_empty_pop_pages and
chunk->nr_populated") added pcpu_nr_empty_pop_pages and caused the
accounting issue.
