Mateusz Guzik c439d5e8a0 pcpcntr: add group allocation/free
Allocations and frees are globally serialized on the pcpu lock (and the
CPU hotplug lock if enabled, which is the case on Debian).

At least one frequent consumer allocates 4 back-to-back counters (and
frees them in the same manner), exacerbating the problem.

While this does not fully remedy scalability issues, it is a step
towards that goal and provides immediate relief.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
