Subject: [RFC][PATCH 6/6] delalloc ENOSPC: improve percpu counter
	accounting accurate

percpu counter: update center counter when sum per-cpu counter

From: Mingming cao <cmm@...ibm.com>

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

This patch added a new function to update center counter when
sum up per-cpu counters, to increase the accurate rate
for next percpu_counter_read()(which reads only the center counter
and require less calling expensive percpu_counter_sum().(in
ext4_has_free_blocks)
