From: Mingming Cao <cmm@us.ibm.com>

commit 1f7c14c62ce63805f9574664a6c6de3633d4a354 upstream.

percpu_counter_sum_and_set() and percpu_counter_sum() is the same except
the former updates the global counter after accounting.  Since we are
taking the fbc->lock to calculate the precise value of the counter in
percpu_counter_sum() anyway, it should simply set fbc->count too, as the
percpu_counter_sum_and_set() does.

This patch merges these two interfaces into one.
