locking, percpu counters: introduce separate lock classes

Impact: fix lockdep false positives

Classify percpu_counter instances similar to regular lock objects --
that is, per instantiation site.

The networking code has increased its use of percpu_counters, which
leads to false positives if they are treated as a single class.
