percpu: allocation size should be even
723ad1d90b56 ("percpu: store offsets instead of lengths in ->map[]") updated percpu area allocator to use the lowest bit, instead of sign, to signify whether the area is occupied and forced min align to 2; unfortunately, it forgot to force the allocation size to be even causing malfunctions for the very rare odd-sized allocations. Always force the allocations to be even sized. tj: Wrote patch description. Original-patch-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
