[PATCH 05/20] percpu: generalize first chunk allocator selection

[Tejun Heo]

Now that all first chunk allocators are in mm/percpu.c, it makes sense
to make generalize percpu_alloc kernel parameter.  Define PCPU_FC_*
and set pcpu_chosen_fc using early_param() in mm/percpu.c.  Arch code
can use the set value to determine which first chunk allocator to use.
