percpu_counter: extend _limited_add() to negative amounts

percpu_counter: extend _limited_add() to negative amounts

Though tmpfs does not need it, percpu_counter_limited_add() can be twice
as useful if it works sensibly with negative amounts (subs) - typically
decrements towards a limit of 0 or nearby: as suggested by Dave Chinner.

And in the course of that reworking, skip the percpu counter sum if it is
already obvious that the limit would be passed: as suggested by Tim Chen.

Extend the comment above __percpu_counter_limited_add(), defining the
behaviour with positive and negative amounts, allowing negative limits,
but not bothering about overflow beyond S64_MAX.
