Subject: lib/percpu_counter.c: disable local irq when updating percpu couter
__percpu_counter_add() may be called in softirq/hardirq handler (such as,
blk_mq_queue_exit() is typically called in hardirq/softirq handler), so we
need to disable local irq when updating the percpu counter, otherwise
counts may be lost.
The patch fixes problem that 'rmmod null_blk' may hang in blk_cleanup_queue()
because of miscounting of request_queue->mq_usage_counter.
