Subject: [PATCH 1/3] percpu: Add alloc_percpu_aligned()

From: Huang Ying <ying.huang@...el.com>

To allocate percpu memory that is aligned with cache line size
dynamically.  We can statically allocate percpu memory that is aligned
with cache line size with DEFINE_PER_CPU_ALIGNED(), but we have no
correspondent API for dynamic allocation.
