percpu_counter: add debugobj support

All percpu counters are linked to a global list on initialization and
removed from it on destruction.  The list is walked during CPU up/down.
If a percpu counter is freed without being properly destroyed, the system
will oops only on the next CPU up/down making it pretty nasty to track
down.  This patch adds debugobj support for percpu counters so that such
problems can be found easily.

As percpu counters don't make sense on stack and can't be statically
initialized, debugobj support is pretty simple.  It's initialized and
activated on counter initialization, and deactivatd and destroyed on
counter destruction.  With this patch applied, the bug fixed by commit
602586a83b719df0fbd94196a1359ed35aeb2df3 (shmem: put_super must
percpu_counter_destroy) triggers the following warning on tmpfs unmount
and the system won't oops on the next cpu up/down operation.
