percpu_counter: new function percpu_counter_sum_and_set
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().
