Impact: allow unit_size to be arbitrary multiple of PAGE_SIZE
In dynamic percpu allocator, there is no reason the unit size should
be power of two. Remove the restriction.
As non-power-of-two unit size means that empty chunks fall into the
same slot index as lightly occupied chunks which is bad for reclaming.
Reserve an extra slot for empty chunks.

Impact: allow larger alignment for early vmalloc area allocation
Some early vmalloc users might want larger alignment, for example, for
custom large page mapping. Add @align to vm_area_register_early().
While at it, drop docbook comment on non-existent @size.

Impact: fix short allocation leading to memory corruption
While dropping rvalue wrapping macros around global parameters,
pcpu_chunk_struct_size was set incorrectly resulting in shorter page
pointer array. Fix it.

Andrew was concerned about the unit of variables named or have suffix
size. Every usage in percpu allocator is in bytes but make it super
clear by adding comments.
While at it, make pcpu_depopulate_chunk() take int @off and @size like
everyone else.

Impact: new scalable dynamic percpu allocator which allows dynamic
percpu areas to be accessed the same way as static ones
Implement scalable dynamic percpu allocator which can be used for both
static and dynamic percpu areas. This will allow static and dynamic
areas to share faster direct access methods. This feature is optional
and enabled only when CONFIG_HAVE_DYNAMIC_PER_CPU_AREA is defined by
arch. Please read comment on top of mm/percpu.c for details.
