[PATCH 1/2] lib: fix compare_delta parameter order in percpu_counter_tree

[David Carlier <devnexen@gmail.com>]

The compare_delta() helper takes (delta, accuracy_neg, accuracy_pos),
but every call site passes (delta, accuracy_pos, accuracy_neg) — the
last two arguments are consistently swapped.

The documented invariant (include/linux/percpu_counter_tree.h) is:

  (precise_sum - under) <= approx_sum <= (precise_sum + over)

Which means precise_sum is in [approx_sum - over, approx_sum + under].

For a positive delta (v - approx_sum >= 0), accuracy_pos must be
"under" (the maximum amount precise_sum can exceed approx_sum).
For a negative delta, accuracy_neg must be "over". Since under > over
always (batch_size * M vs (batch_size - 1) * M), swapping them causes
false definitive results: the functions return 1 ("v > counter") when
the correct answer is 0 (indeterminate).

This affects all comparison functions:
- percpu_counter_tree_approximate_compare_value()
- percpu_counter_tree_approximate_compare()
- percpu_counter_tree_precise_compare_value()
- percpu_counter_tree_precise_compare()

The precise variants are also affected because their approximate
fast-path can short-circuit with a wrong result, skipping the precise
sum computation.

Fix by swapping the parameter order in compare_delta() itself, since
all call sites are consistently swapped.
