I wish we did not need to modify these region_() routines as they are
already difficult to understand.  However, I see no other way with the
desired semantics.

Is it possible that the region struct we are deleting pointed to
a reservation_counter?  Perhaps even for another cgroup?
Just concerned with the way regions are coalesced that we may be
deleting counters.
