percpu: fix bootmem error handling in pcpu_page_first_chunk()

Browse source 
If memory allocation of in pcpu_embed_first_chunk() fails, the
allocated memory is not released correctly. In the release loop also
the non-allocated elements are released which leads to the following
kernel BUG on systems with very little memory:

[    0.000000] kernel BUG at mm/bootmem.c:307!

To fix the problem now only allocated elements are released. This then
leads to the correct kernel panic:

[    0.000000] Kernel panic - not syncing: Failed to initialize percpu areas.

tj: Flipped if conditional so that it doesn't need "continue".
