Suggest revising the comment, so it is clear we need to use
percpu_counter_sum() to access the counter:
With percpu_counter_add_local() and percpu_counter_sub_local(),
counts are accumulated in local per cpu counter and not in
fbc->count until local count overflows PERCPU_COUNTER_LOCAL_BATCH.
This makes counter write efficient.
But percpu_counter_sum(), instead of percpu_counter_read(),
needs to be used to add up the counts
from each CPU to account for all the local counts.
So percpu_counter_add_local() and percpu_counter_sub_local()
should be used when a counter is updated frequently and read
rarely.
