Christoph Lameter 7c83912062 vmstat: User per cpu atomics to avoid interrupt disable / enable 
Currently the operations to increment vm counters must disable interrupts
in order to not mess up their housekeeping of counters.

So use this_cpu_cmpxchg() to avoid the overhead. Since we can no longer
count on preremption being disabled we still have some minor issues.
The fetching of the counter thresholds is racy.
A threshold from another cpu may be applied if we happen to be
rescheduled on another cpu.  However, the following vmstat operation
will then bring the counter again under the threshold limit.

The operations for __xxx_zone_state are not changed since the caller
has taken care of the synchronization needs (and therefore the cycle
count is even less than the optimized version for the irq disable case
provided here).

The optimization using this_cpu_cmpxchg will only be used if the arch
supports efficient this_cpu_ops (must have CONFIG_CMPXCHG_LOCAL set!)

The use of this_cpu_cmpxchg reduces the cycle count for the counter
operations by %80 (inc_zone_page_state goes from 170 cycles to 32).
