[this_cpu_xx V7 7/8] Module handling: Use this_cpu_xx to dynamically allocate counters

[Christoph Lameter <cl@linux-foundation.org>]

[-- Attachment #1: percpu_local_t_remove_modules --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 6374 bytes --]

Use cpu ops to deal with the per cpu data instead of a local_t. Reduces memory
requirements, cache footprint and decreases cycle counts.

The this_cpu_xx operations are also used for !SMP mode. Otherwise we could
not drop the use of __module_ref_addr() which would make per cpu data handling
complicated. this_cpu_xx operations have their own fallback for !SMP.

The last hold out of users of local_t is the tracing ringbuffer after this patch
has been applied.
