No, it would get rid of it entirely. percpu_counter_read_positive()
does not require any summing at all - that's a much better solution
than a hand rolled set of percpu counters. Please do this.

We get bug reports every so often about the overhead of frequently
summing per-cpu stats on large systems. Nothing ratelimits or
restricts access to /proc/self/mountstats, so when you have a
thousand CPUs and a million monkeys...
Rule of thumb: don't do computationally expensive things to generate
data for globally accessible sysfs files.

I'm just pointing out something we've had problems with in
the past and are trying to help you avoid making the same mistakes.
That's what reviewers are supposed to do, yes?
