include/linux/percpu_counter.h: race in uniprocessor percpu_counter_add() 

The percpu interface is supposed to be preempt and irq safe.

But:
The uniprocessor implementation of percpu_counter_add() is not irq safe:
if an interrupt happens during the +=, then the result is undefined.

Therefore: switch from preempt_disable() to local_irq_save().
This prevents interrupts from interrupting the +=, and as a side effect
prevents preemption.
