Impact: When using VMs with many CPUs on kvm, the module is loaded per CPU
which can cause allocation failures.
Fix: 8d8022e8aba85192e937f1f0f7450e256d66ae5c solves the issue which is
present in 3.8 series and beyond.
Testcase: Boot a VM with many CPUs, reboot and check if issue occurs.
Rusty Russell (1):
module: do percpu allocation after uniqueness check. No, really!
