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.
