mm/util.c: make vm_memory_committed() more accurate
percpu_counter_sum_positive() will provide more accurate info. As with percpu_counter_read_positive(), in worst case the deviation could be 'batch * nr_cpus', which is totalram_pages/256 for now, and will be more when the batch gets enlarged. Its time cost is about 800 nanoseconds on a 2C/4T platform and 2~3 microseconds on a 2S/36C/72T Skylake server in normal case, and in worst case where vm_committed_as's spinlock is under severe contention, it costs 30~40 microseconds for the 2S/36C/72T Skylake sever, which should be fine for its only two users: /proc/meminfo and HyperV balloon driver's status trace per second.
