[RFC] percpu: decrease pcpu_nr_slots by 1

[Peng Fan <peng.fan@nxp.com>]

Entry pcpu_slot[pcpu_nr_slots - 2] is wasted with current code logic.
pcpu_nr_slots is calculated with `__pcpu_size_to_slot(size) + 2`.
Take pcpu_unit_size as 1024 for example, __pcpu_size_to_slot will
return max(11 - PCPU_SLOT_BASE_SHIFT + 2, 1), it is 8, so the
pcpu_nr_slots will be 10.

The chunk with free_bytes 1024 will be linked into pcpu_slot[9].
However free_bytes in range [512,1024) will be linked into
pcpu_slot[7], because `fls(512) - PCPU_SLOT_BASE_SHIFT + 2` is 7.
So pcpu_slot[8] is has no chance to be used.

According comments of PCPU_SLOT_BASE_SHIFT, 1~31 bytes share the same slot
and PCPU_SLOT_BASE_SHIFT is defined as 5. But actually 1~15 share the
same slot 1 if we not take PCPU_MIN_ALLOC_SIZE into consideration, 16~31
share slot 2. Calculation as below:
highbit = fls(16) -> highbit = 5
max(5 - PCPU_SLOT_BASE_SHIFT + 2, 1) equals 2, not 1.

This patch by decreasing pcpu_nr_slots to avoid waste one slot and
let [PCPU_MIN_ALLOC_SIZE, 31) really share the same slot.

V1:
 Not very sure about whether it is intended to leave the slot there.
