percpu: relegate chunks unusable when failing small allocations
In certain cases, requestors of percpu memory may want specific alignments. However, it is possible to end up in situations where the contig_hint matches, but the alignment does not. This causes excess scanning of chunks that will fail. To prevent this, if a small allocation fails (< 32B), the chunk is moved to the empty list. Once an allocation is freed from that chunk, it is placed back into rotation. Signed-off-by: Dennis Zhou <dennis@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Peng Fan <peng.fan@nxp.com>
