Subject: [PATCH v6 2/3] percpu: add PERCPU_ATOM_SIZE for a generic percpu area setup

There is no room to adjust 'atom_size' now when a generic percpu area
is used. It would be redundant to write down an architecture-specific
setup_per_cpu_areas() in order to only change the 'atom_size'. Thus,
this patch adds a new definition, PERCPU_ATOM_SIZE, which is PAGE_SIZE
by default. The value could be updated if needed by architecture.
