Dennis Zhou 303abfdf76 percpu: fix early calls for spinlock in pcpu_stats

Commit 30a5b5367e ("percpu: expose statistics about percpu memory via
debugfs") introduces percpu memory statistics. pcpu_stats_chunk_alloc
takes the spin lock and disables/enables irqs on creation of a chunk. Irqs
are not enabled when the first chunk is initialized and thus kernels are
failing to boot with kernel debugging enabled. Fixed by changing _irq to
_irqsave and _irqrestore.

Dennis Zhou 30a5b5367e percpu: expose statistics about percpu memory via debugfs
There is limited visibility into the use of percpu memory leaving us
unable to reason about correctness of parameters and overall use of
percpu memory. These counters and statistics aim to help understand
basic statistics about percpu memory such as number of allocations over
the lifetime, allocation sizes, and fragmentation.

New Config: PERCPU_STATS

Dennis Zhou 8fa3ed8014 percpu: migrate percpu data structures to internal header
Migrates pcpu_chunk definition and a few percpu static variables to an
internal header file from mm/percpu.c. These will be used with debugfs
to expose statistics about percpu memory improving visibility regarding
allocations and fragmentation.
