Subject: [PATCH] lib/percpu_counter.c: disable local irq when updating percpu couter

__percpu_counter_add() may be called in softirq/hardirq handler
(such as, blk_mq_queue_exit() is typically called in hardirq/softirq
handler), so we need to disable local irq when updating the percpu
counter, otherwise counts may be lost.

The patch fixes problem that 'rmmod null_blk' may hang in blk_cleanup_queue()
because of miscounting of request_queue->mq_usage_counter.
