percpu_counter: FBC_BATCH should be a variable
For NR_CPUS >= 16 values, FBC_BATCH is 2*NR_CPUS
Considering more and more distros are using high NR_CPUS values, it makes
sense to use a more sensible value for FBC_BATCH, and get rid of NR_CPUS.
A sensible value is 2*num_online_cpus(), with a minimum value of 32 (This
minimum value helps branch prediction in __percpu_counter_add())
We already have a hotcpu notifier, so we can adjust FBC_BATCH dynamically.
We rename FBC_BATCH to percpu_counter_batch since its not a constant
anymore.
