Revert "openvswitch: Merge three per-CPU structures into one"

This reverts commit 035fcdc.

The cited commit changed openvswitch to use static percpu allocations,
and exhausted the reserved chunk on module init.
Allocation of struct ovs_pcpu_storage (6488 bytes) fails on ARM:

percpu: allocation failed, size=6488 align=8 atomic=0, alloc from reserved chunk failed

openvswitch: Could not allocate 6488 bytes percpu data

For large buffers, dynamic allocations are preferred, revert the patch.
