pcpu_reclaim() calls pcpu_depopulate_chunk() which makes use of pages
array and bitmap returned by pcpu_get_pages_and_bitmap() and thus
should be called under pcpu_alloc_mutex.  pcpu_reclaim() released the
mutex before calling depopulate leading to double free and other
strange problems caused by the unexpected concurrent usages of pages
array and bitmap.  Fix it.
