[PATCH] percpu_counter: increase batch count

[Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>]

Currently we cap the batch count at max(32, 2*nr_online_cpus), which these
days is kind of silly as systems have gotten much bigger than in 2009 when
this heuristic was introduced.

Bump it to capping it at 256 instead. This has a noticeable improvement
for certain io_uring workloads, as io_uring tracks per-task inflight count
using percpu counters.
