Well some cost for correct and accurate counter :)

BTW, I did a few more iterations and I don't see consistent numbers.
The results from 7 runs look like this:

percpu_counter_read() - 11325, 11549, 5939, 9999, 7129, 7758, 11385 us
percpu_counter_sum() - 8655, 9201, 8705, 11766, 10619, 9186, 8890 us 

Regards,
Bharata.
