PERCPU_MODULE_RESERVE defines the maximum size that can by used for the
per-CPU data size used by modules. This is 8KiB.
Commit 035fcdc4d2 ("openvswitch: Merge three per-CPU structures into
one") restructured the per-CPU memory allocation for the module and
moved the separate alloc_percpu() invocations at module init time to a
static per-CPU variable which is allocated by the module loader.
The size of the per-CPU data section for openvswitch is 6488 bytes which
is ~80% of the available per-CPU memory. Together with a few other
modules it is easy to exhaust the available 8KiB of memory.
Allocate ovs_pcpu_storage dynamically at module init time.
