lib/percpu_counter.c: fix __percpu_counter_add()

Browse source 
__percpu_counter_add() may be called in softirq/hardirq handler (such
as, blk_mq_queue_exit() is typically called in hardirq/softirq handler),
so we need to call this_cpu_add()(irq safe helper) to update percpu
counter, otherwise counts may be lost.

This fixes the problem that 'rmmod null_blk' hangs in blk_cleanup_queue()
because of miscounting of request_queue->mq_usage_counter.

This patch is the v1 of previous one of "lib/percpu_counter.c:
disable local irq when updating percpu couter", and takes Andrew's
approach which may be more efficient for ARCHs(x86, s390) that
have optimized this_cpu_add().
