As you can see from commit b0b477c7e0dd9 the round-robin path selector
is now using percpu data (pointer) and a percpu_counter.

I'm really not sure how else to access this percpu data.

Cc'ing LKML, linux-block, Jens and hch to cast a wider net in the hopes
of getting an answer to how to fix this.
