    Delayed allocation need to check free blocks at every write time.
    percpu_counter_read_positive() is not quit accurate. delayed
    allocation need a more accurate accounting, but using
    percpu_counter_sum_positive() is frequently is quite expensive.
    
    This patch added a new function to update center counter when sum
    per-cpu counter, to increase the accurate rate for next
    percpu_counter_read() and require less calling expensive
    percpu_counter_sum().
