Subject[PATCH 2/3] percpu: acquire pcpu_lock when updating pcpu_nr_empty_pop_pages
Date
Update to pcpu_nr_empty_pop_pages in pcpu_alloc() is currently done
without holding pcpu_lock. This can lead to bad updates to the variable.
Add missing lock calls.

Fixes: b539b87fed37 ("percpu: implmeent pcpu_nr_empty_pop_pages and chunk->nr_populated")
