[PATCH v2 22/23] percpu: update pcpu_find_block_fit to use an iterator

[Dennis Zhou <dennisz@fb.com>]

From: "Dennis Zhou (Facebook)" <dennisszhou@gmail.com>

The simple, and expensive, way to find a free area is to iterate over
the entire bitmap until an area is found that fits the allocation size
and alignment. This patch makes use of an iterate that find an area to
check by using the block level contig hints. It will only return an area
that can fit the size and alignment request. If the request can fit
inside a block, it returns the first_free bit to start checking from to
see if it can be fulfilled prior to the contig hint. The pcpu_alloc_area
check has a bound of a block size added in case it is wrong.
