lib: percpu_counter_sub 



Hugh spotted that some code does:
  percpu_counter_add(&counter, -unsignedlong)

which, when the amount argument is of type s32, sort-of works thanks to
two's-complement. However when we'd change the type to s64 this breaks on 32bit
machines, because the promotion rules zero extend the unsigned number.

Provide percpu_counter_sub() to hide the s64 cast. That is:
  percpu_counter_sub(&counter, foo)
is equal to:
  percpu_counter_add(&counter, -(s64)foo);
