[PATCH 2/2 x86#core/percpu] percpu: remove rbtree and use page->index instead

Tejun Heo

From: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com>

Impact: use page->index for addr to chunk mapping instead of dedicated rbtree

The rbtree is used to determine the chunk from the virtual address.
However, we can already determine the page struct from a virtual
address and there are several unused fields in page struct used by
vmalloc. Use the index field to store a pointer to the chunk. Then
there is no need anymore for an rbtree.

tj: * s/(set|get)_chunk/pcpu_\1_page_chunk/

* Drop inline from the above two functions and moved them upwards
so that they are with other simple helpers.

* Initial pages might not (actually most of the time don't) live
in the vmalloc area. With the previous patch to manually
reverse-map both first chunks, this is no longer an issue.
Removed pcpu_set_chunk() call on initial pages.

I made some modifications and it needed the previous patch to get the
first chunk reverse-mapping working. Tested all three first chunk
allocators and everything seems to work fine. Nice cleanup. :-)
