percpu_counter library generates quite nasty code, so unless you need
to dynamically allocate counters or take fast approximate value, a
simple per cpu set of counters is much better.

The percpu_counter can never be made to work as well, because it has an
indirection from pointer to percpu memory, and it can't use direct
this_cpu_inc interfaces because it doesn't use static PER_CPU data, so
code will always be worse.

In the fastpath, it is the difference between this:

        incl %gs:nr_dentry      # nr_dentry

and this:

        movl    percpu_counter_batch(%rip), %edx        # percpu_counter_batch,
        movl    $1, %esi        #,
        movq    $nr_dentry, %rdi        #,
        call    __percpu_counter_add    # (plus I clobber registers)
