Subject: [PATCH 3/3] mm/percpu.c: print error message too if atomic alloc failed

The variable 'err' is assgigned to an error message if atomic alloc
failed, while it has no chance to be printed if is_atomic is true.

Here change to print error message too if atomic alloc failed, while
avoid to call dump_stack() if that case.
