Jiebin Sun 72d1e61108 ipc/msg: mitigate the lock contention with percpu counter
The msg_bytes and msg_hdrs atomic counters are frequently updated when IPC
msg queue is in heavy use, causing heavy cache bounce and overhead. 
Change them to percpu_counter greatly improve the performance.  Since
there is one percpu struct per namespace, additional memory cost is
minimal.  Reading of the count done in msgctl call, which is infrequent. 
So the need to sum up the counts in each CPU is infrequent.

Apply the patch and test the pts/stress-ng-1.4.0
-- system v message passing (160 threads).

Score gain: 3.99x

CPU: ICX 8380 x 2 sockets
Core number: 40 x 2 physical cores
Benchmark: pts/stress-ng-1.4.0
-- system v message passing (160 threads)

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
