Subject: [PATCH] percpu_counter: use local_t and atomic_long_t if possible

After discussions on percpu_counter subject, I cooked following patch

My goals were :

- IRQ safe percpu_counter (needed for net-next-2.6)
- 64bit platforms can avoid spin_lock and reduce size of percpu_counter
- No increase of API

Final result, on x86_64, __percpu_counter_add() is really fast and irq safe :

0000000000000000 <__percpu_counter_add>:
   0:   55                      push   %rbp

  23:   48 01 f0                add    %rsi,%rax
  26:   48 39 c1                cmp    %rax,%rcx
  29:   7e 0d                   jle    38 <__percpu_counter_add+0x38>

  2e:   48 39 c1                cmp    %rax,%rcx
  31:   7d 05                   jge    38 <__percpu_counter_add+0x38>
  33:   c9                      leaveq
  34:   c3                      retq
  35:   0f 1f 00                nopl   (%rax)
  38:   48 29 02                sub    %rax,(%rdx)
  3b:   f0 48 01 07             lock add %rax,(%rdi)
  3f:   c9                      leaveq
  40:   c3                      retq

Changes are :

We use local_t instead of s32 for the local storage (for each cpu)

We use atomic_long_t instead of s64 on 64bit arches, to avoid spin_lock.

On 32bit arches, we guard the shared s64 value with an irqsafe spin_lock.
As this spin_lock is not taken in fast path, this should not make a real
difference.
