net: use lib/percpu_counter API for fragmentation mem accounting

Browse source 
Replace the per network namespace shared atomic "mem" accounting
variable, in the fragmentation code, with a lib/percpu_counter.

Getting percpu_counter to scale to the fragmentation code usage
requires some tweaks.

At first view, percpu_counter looks superfast, but it does not
scale on multi-CPU/NUMA machines, because the default batch size
is too small, for frag code usage.  Thus, I have adjusted the
batch size by using __percpu_counter_add() directly, instead of
percpu_counter_sub() and percpu_counter_add().

The batch size is increased to 130.000, based on the largest 64K
fragment memory usage.  This does introduce some imprecise
memory accounting, but its does not need to be strict for this
use-case.

It is also essential, that the percpu_counter, does not
share cacheline with other writers, to make this scale.
