    percpu: set PCPU_BITMAP_BLOCK_SIZE to PAGE_SIZE · b239f7da

    Previously, block size was flexible based on the constraint that the
    GCD(PCPU_BITMAP_BLOCK_SIZE, PAGE_SIZE) > 1. However, this carried the
    overhead that keeping a floating number of populated free pages required
    scanning over the free regions of a chunk.
    
    Setting the block size to be fixed at PAGE_SIZE lets us know when an
    empty page becomes used as we will break a full contig_hint of a block.
    This means we no longer have to scan the whole chunk upon breaking a
    contig_hint which empty page management piggybacked off. A later patch
    takes advantage of this to optimize the allocation path by only scanning
    forward using the scan_hint introduced later too.
