    percpu_counter: Rename __percpu_counter_add to percpu_counter_add_batch · 104b4e51

    Currently, percpu_counter_add is a wrapper around __percpu_counter_add
    which is preempt safe due to explicit calls to preempt_disable.  Given
    how __ prefix is used in percpu related interfaces, the naming
    unfortunately creates the false sense that __percpu_counter_add is
    less safe than percpu_counter_add.  In terms of context-safety,
    they're equivalent.  The only difference is that the __ version takes
    a batch parameter.
    
    Make this a bit more explicit by just renaming __percpu_counter_add to
    percpu_counter_add_batch.
    
    This patch doesn't cause any functional changes.
    
    tj: Minor updates to patch description for clarity.  Cosmetic
        indentation updates.
