Subject: [PATCH v3 8/8] percpu: Add __alloc_size attributes for better bounds checking

As already done in GrapheneOS, add the __alloc_size attribute for
appropriate percpu allocator interfaces, to provide additional hinting for
better bounds checking, assisting CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE and other compiler
optimizations.

Note that due to the implementation of the percpu API, this is unlikely
to ever actually provide compile-time checking beyond very simple non-SMP
builds. But, since they are technically allocators, mark them as such.
