    Impact: kill unused functions
    
    percpu_alloc() and its friends never saw much action.  It was supposed
    to replace the cpu-mask unaware __alloc_percpu() but it never happened
    and in fact __percpu_alloc_mask() itself never really grew proper
    up/down handling interface either (no exported interface for
    populate/depopulate).
    
    percpu allocation is about to go through major reimplementation and
    there's no reason to carry this unused interface around.  Replace it
    with __alloc_percpu() and free_percpu().
