Subject: [PATCH v3 2/3] percpu: Add WARN_ON into percpu_init_late

In pcpu_setup_first_chunk() pcpu_reserved_chunk is assigned to point to
static chunk. While pcpu_first_chunk is got from below code:

	pcpu_first_chunk = dchunk ?: schunk;

pcpu_first_chunk might point to static chunk too with possibility. Add a
WARN_ON here to yell out if that happened.*/
