[PATCH v2 22/45] percpu_counter: Use get/put_online_cpus_atomic() toprevent CPU offline

[Srivatsa S. Bhat]

Once stop_machine() is gone from the CPU offline path, we won't be able
to depend on disabling preemption to prevent CPUs from going offline
from under us.

Use the get/put_online_cpus_atomic() APIs to prevent CPUs from going
offline, while invoking from atomic context.
