There is a special check for non-percpu arrays (ops == &array_map_ops
check), which was missed and not updated for percpu arrays,
unfortunately. I've added more map-in-map combinations to our tests so
this can be caught sooner. Good thing Jakub tested in our production
setup so we could catch this sooner!

Not much partying today, but the day was still quite hectic, sorry for
delays. Just sent out the fix (rebased on top of the latest
net-next/main).
