percpu: store offsets instead of lengths in ->map[]

Current code keeps +-length for each area in chunk->map[].  It has
several unpleasant consequences:
	* even if we know that first 50 areas are all in use, allocation
still needs to go through all those areas just to sum their sizes, just
to get the offset of free one.
	* freeing needs to find the array entry refering to the area
in question; again, the need to sum the sizes until we reach the offset
we are interested in.  Note that offsets are monotonous, so simple
binary search would do here.

	New data representation: array of <offset,in-use flag> pairs.
Each pair is represented by one int - we use offset|1 for <offset, in use>
and offset for <offset, free> (we make sure that all offsets are even).
In the end we put a sentry entry - <total size, in use>.  The first
entry is <0, flag>; it would be possible to store together the flag
for Nth area and offset for N+1st, but that leads to much hairier code.

In other words, where the old variant would have
	4, -8, -4, 4, -12, 100
(4 bytes free, 8 in use, 4 in use, 4 free, 12 in use, 100 free) we store
	<0,0>, <4,1>, <12,1>, <16,0>, <20,1>, <32,0>, <132,1>
i.e.
	0, 5, 13, 16, 21, 32, 133

This commit switches to new data representation and takes care of a couple
of low-hanging fruits in free_pcpu_area() - one is the switch to binary
search, another is not doing two memmove() when one would do.  Speeding
the alloc side up (by keeping track of how many areas in the beginning are
known to be all in use) also becomes possible - that'll be done in the next
commit.
