Subject: [PATCH] radix-tree: replace preallocated node array with linked list

Currently we use per-cpu array to hold pointers to preallocated nodes.
Let's replace it with linked list. On x86_64 it saves 256 bytes in
per-cpu ELF section which may translate into freeing up 2MB of memory
for NR_CPUS==8192.
