percpu: don't assume existence of cpu0
percpu incorrectly assumed that cpu0 was always there which led to the following warning and eventual oops on sparc machines w/o cpu0. WARNING: at mm/percpu.c:651 pcpu_map+0xdc/0x100() Modules linked in: Call Trace: [000000000045eb70] warn_slowpath_common+0x50/0xa0 [000000000045ebdc] warn_slowpath_null+0x1c/0x40 [00000000004d493c] pcpu_map+0xdc/0x100 [00000000004d59a4] pcpu_alloc+0x3e4/0x4e0 [00000000004d5af8] __alloc_percpu+0x18/0x40 [00000000005b112c] __percpu_counter_init+0x4c/0xc0 ...

Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill the idle task! This patch fixes the problem by backporting parts from devel branch to make percpu core not depend on the existence of cpu0.
