Roman Gushchin 67c2669d69 percpu: split __pcpu_balance_workfn()
__pcpu_balance_workfn() became fairly big and hard to follow, but in
fact it consists of two fully independent parts, responsible for
the destruction of excessive free chunks and population of necessarily
amount of free pages.

In order to simplify the code and prepare for adding of a new
functionality, split it in two functions:

  1) pcpu_balance_free,
  2) pcpu_balance_populated.

Move the taking/releasing of the pcpu_alloc_mutex to an upper level
to keep the current synchronization in place.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
