Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Make the batch size of the percpu_counter configurable

Currently, there is a single, global, variable (percpu_counter_batch) that
controls the batch sizes for every 'struct percpu_counter' on the system.

However, there are some applications, e.g. memory accounting where it is
more appropriate to scale the batch size according to the memory size.
This patch adds the infrastructure to be able to change the batch sizes
for each individual instance of 'struct percpu_counter'.

I have chosen to implement the added field of batch as a pointer
(by default point to percpu_counter_batch) instead
of a static value.  The reason is the percpu_counter initialization
can be called when we only have boot cpu and not all cpus are online.
and percpu_counter_batch value have yet to be udpated with a
call to compute_batch_value function.

Thanks to Dave Hansen and Andi Kleen for their comments and suggestions.
