[PATCH] elevator: define ioc counting mechanism
None of the in-kernel primitives for handling "atomic" counting seem
to be a good fit. We need something that is essentially free for
incrementing/decrementing, while the read side may be more expensive
as we only ever need to do that when a device is removed from the
kernel.
Use a per-cpu variable for maintaining a per-cpu ioc count and define
a reading mechanism that just sums up the values.
