Subject: [PATCH 7/7] x86: ensure percpu lpage doesn't consume too much vmalloc space

On extreme configuration (e.g. 32bit 32-way NUMA machine), lpage
percpu first chunk allocator can consume too much of vmalloc space.
Make it fall back to 4k allocator if the consumption goes over 20%.

[ Impact: add sanity check for lpage percpu first chunk allocator ]
