percpu_counter: add percpu_counter_sync()
percpu_counter's accuracy is related to its batch size. For a percpu_counter with a big batch, its deviation could be big, so when the counter's batch is runtime changed to a smaller value for better accuracy, there could also be requirment to reduce the big deviation. So add a percpu-counter sync function to be run on each CPU.
