Subject: [PATCH 2/6] percpu: drop @unit_size from embed first chunk allocator

The only extra feature @unit_size provides is making dead space at the
end of the first chunk which doesn't have any valid usecase.  Drop the
parameter.  This will increase consistency with generalized 4k
allocator.

[ Impact: drop unused code path ]
