Thanks for the Patch.
I have tested the patch and the fix works fine.
selftests/powerpc/mce/inject-ra-err testcase is working as
expected after enabling percpu_alloc=page with the patch applied.

Output with Patch:
# ./inject-ra-err 
test: inject-ra-err
tags: git_version:unknown
success: inject-ra-err
#
