percpu: fix pcpu_reclaim() locking
pcpu_reclaim() calls pcpu_depopulate_chunk() which makes use of pages array and bitmap returned by pcpu_get_pages_and_bitmap() and thus should be called under pcpu_alloc_mutex. pcpu_reclaim() released the mutex before calling depopulate leading to double free and other strange problems caused by the unexpected concurrent usages of pages array and bitmap. Fix it. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux-foundation.org>
