percpu_counter: add percpu_counter_sum_all interface
The percpu_counter is used for scenarios where performance is more important than the accuracy. For percpu_counter users, who want more accurate information in their slowpath, percpu_counter_sum is provided which traverses all the online CPUs to accumulate the data. The reason it only needs to traverse online CPUs is because percpu_counter does implement CPU offline callback which syncs the local data of the offlined CPU. However there is a small race window between the online CPUs traversal of percpu_counter_sum and the CPU offline callback. The offline callback has to traverse all the percpu_counters on the system to flush the CPU local data which can be a lot. During that time, the CPU which is going offline has already been published as offline to all the readers. So, as the offline callback is running, percpu_counter_sum can be called for one counter which has some state on the CPU going offline. Since percpu_counter_sum only traverses online CPUs, it will skip that specific CPU and the offline callback might not have flushed the state for that specific percpu_counter on that offlined CPU. Normally this is not an issue because percpu_counter users can deal with some inaccuracy for small time window. However a new user i.e. mm_struct on the cleanup path wants to check the exact state of the percpu_counter through check_mm(). For such users, this patch introduces percpu_counter_sum_all() which traverses all possible CPUs and it is used in fork.c:check_mm() to avoid the potential race. This issue is exposed by the later patch "mm: convert mm's rss stats into percpu_counter".
