Subject: [PATCH 2/3] percpu_stats: Simple per-cpu statistics count helper functions

This patch introduces a set of simple per-cpu statictics count helper
functions that can be used by other kernel subsystems for keeping
track of the number of events that happens. It is per-cpu based to
reduce overhead and improve accuracy of the counter. Using per-cpu
counter is usually overkill for such purpose.

The following APIs are provided:

 - int percpu_stats_init(struct percpu_stats *pcs, int num)
   Initialize the per-cpu statictics counts structure which should have
   the given number of statistics counts. Return -ENOMEM on error.

 - void percpu_stats_destroy(struct percpu_stats *pcs)
   Free the percpu memory allocated.

 - void percpu_stats_inc(struct percpu_stats *pcs, int stat)
   void percpu_stats_dec(struct percpu_stats *pcs, int stat)
   Increment and decrement the given per-cpu statistics count.

 - unsigned long percpu_stats_sum(struct percpu_stats *pcs, int stat)
   Return the current aggregated sum of the given statistics count.

 - void percpu_stats_reset(struct percpu_stats *pcs)
   Clear all the statistics counts defined in the given percpu_stats
   structure.
