Hello, guys.

These two patches remove both warnings.  The first warning was
completely spurious.  The second lockdep one was triggered by
on_each_cpu() enabling local IRQ too early.

I don't think percpu allocator itself malfunctioned.  There was no
allocation failure.  It whines when percpu allocation fails but didn't
in the log.  Other than calling vfree() early triggering the above
condition, it worked okay.

So, it's either the early enabling of local IRQ by on_each_cpu()
breaking something in the IRQ subsystem or something different.  Ingo,
can you please see whether these two patches cure the panic too?

Thanks.
