[PATCH] percpu: don't assume existence of cpu0

[Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>]

percpu incorrectly assumed that cpu0 was always there which led to the
following warning and eventual oops on sparc machines w/o cpu0.

   Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill the idle task!

This patch fixes the problem by backporting parts from devel branch to
make percpu core not depend on the existence of cpu0.

Good to hear.  Will forward to Linus right away.  Thanks.
