Subject: mm/percpu.c: correct max_distance calculation for pcpu_embed_first_chunk()

It is am error to represent the max range max_distance spanned by all the
group areas as the offset of the highest group area plus unit size in
pcpu_embed_first_chunk().  It should be equal to the offset plus the size
of the highest group area.

In order to fix this issue, let us find the highest group area which has
the biggest base address, then max_distance is formed by adding its offset
and size values.

The type of variable max_distance is changed from size_t to unsigned long
to prevent potential overflows.
