pcpu_freelist_populate() initializes nr_elems / num_possible_cpus() + 1
free nodes for some CPUs, and then possibly one CPU with fewer nodes,
followed by remaining cpus with 0 nodes. For example, when nr_elems == 256
and num_possible_cpus() == 32, if CPU 0 is the current cpu, CPU 0~27
each gets 9 free nodes, CPU 28 gets 4 free nodes, CPU 29~31 get 0 free
nodes, while in fact each CPU should get 8 nodes equally.

This patch initializes nr_elems / num_possible_cpus() free nodes for each
CPU firstly, then allocates the remaining free nodes by one for each CPU
until no free nodes left.

this loop's logic is quite hard to follow, if we are fixing it, can we
simplify it maybe? something like:

int cpu, cpu_idx, i, j, n, m;

n = nr_elems / num_possible_cpus();
m = nr_elems % num_possible_cpus();

for_each_possible_cpu(cpu) {
    i = n + (cpu_idx < m ? 1 : 0);
    for (j = 0; j < i; j++) {
        head = per_cpu_ptr(s->freelist, cpu);
        pcpu_freelist_push_node(head, buf);
        buf += elem_size;
    }
    cpu_idx++;
}


no gotos, no extra ifs: for each cpu we determine correct number of
elements to allocate, then just allocate them in a straightforward
loop

that's great, will update to:

int cpu, cpu_idx, i, j, n, m;

n = nr_elems / num_possible_cpus();
m = nr_elems % num_possible_cpus();

for_each_possible_cpu(cpu) {
       j = min(n + (cpu_idx < m ? 1 : 0), nr_elems);
       for (i = 0; i < j; i++) {
           head = per_cpu_ptr(s->freelist, cpu);
           pcpu_freelist_push_node(head, buf);
           buf += elem_size;
       }
       nr_elems -= j;
       cpu_idx++;
}
