Delayed allocation need to check free blocks at every write time.
percpu_counter_read_positive() is not quit accurate. delayed
allocation need a more accurate accounting, but using
percpu_counter_sum_positive() is frequently is quite expensive.

This patch added a new function to update center counter when sum
per-cpu counter, to increase the accurate rate for next
percpu_counter_read() and require less calling expensive
percpu_counter_sum().

Hugh spotted that some code does:
  percpu_counter_add(&amp;counter, -unsignedlong)

which, when the amount argument is of type s32, sort-of works thanks to
two's-complement. However when we'd change the type to s64 this breaks on 32bit
machines, because the promotion rules zero extend the unsigned number.

Provide percpu_counter_sub() to hide the s64 cast. That is:
  percpu_counter_sub(&amp;counter, foo)
is equal to:
  percpu_counter_add(&amp;counter, -(s64)foo);
