Subject: [PATCH 2/3] perpuc: check pcpu_first_chunk and pcpu_reserved_chunk to avoid handling them twice

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;

Then it could point to static chunk too if dynamic chunk doesn't exist. So
in this patch adding a check in percpu_init_late() to see if pcpu_first_chunk
is equal to pcpu_reserved_chunk. Only if they are not equal we add
pcpu_reserved_chunk to the target array.
