Subject: percpu: don't forget to free the temporary struct pcpu_alloc_info

From: Nicolas Pitre <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit 438a50618095061920d3a30d4c5ca1ef2e0ff860 ]

Unlike the SMP case, the !SMP case does not free the memory for struct pcpu_alloc_info allocated in setup_per_cpu_areas(). And to give it a chance of being reused by the page allocator later, align it to a page boundary just like its size.
