[PATCH] schedule_on_each_cpu(): reduce kmalloc() size 

schedule_on_each_cpu() presently does a large kmalloc - 96 kbytes on 1024 CPU
64-bit.

Rework it so that we do one 8192-byte allocation and then a pile of tiny ones,
via alloc_percpu().  This has a much higher chance of success (100% in the
current VM).

This also has the effect of reducing the memory requirements from NR_CPUS*n to
num_possible_cpus()*n.
