[patch v2 0/4] percpu_counter: cleanup and fix

[shaohua . li]

Cleanup percpu_counter code and fix some bugs. The main purpose is to convert
percpu_counter to use atomic64, which is useful for workloads which cause
percpu_counter->lock contented. In a workload I tested, the atomic method is
50x faster (please see patch 4 for detail).

patch 1&2: clean up
patch 3: fix bug of percpu_counter for 32-bit systems.
patch 4: convert percpu_counter to use atomic64
