percpu: fix pcpu_last_unit_cpu
pcpu_first/last_unit_cpu are used to track which cpu has the first and last units assigned. This in turn is used to determine the span of a chunk for man/unmap cache flushes and whether an address belongs to the first chunk or not in per_cpu_ptr_to_phys(). When the number of possible CPUs isn't power of two, a chunk may contain unassigned units towards the end of a chunk. The logic to determine pcpu_last_unit_cpu was incorrect when there was an unused unit at the end of a chunk. It failed to ignore the unused unit and assigned the unused marker NR_CPUS to pcpu_last_unit_cpu. This was discovered through kdump failure which was caused by malfunctioning per_cpu_ptr_to_phys() on a kvm setup with 50 possible CPUs by CAI Qian.
