It would be possibly to change percpu_counter_read_positive() to
take a const (and we should), but thanks to you highlighting this
I realized that I should be using percpu_counter_sum_positive(),
to read across all per-cpu counters.  That takes a spinlock
so it would be a much harder sell to get it to accept a
const pointer.

Thanks,
NeilBrown
