sock_alloc() currently uses following code to update sockets_in_use
get_cpu_var(sockets_in_use)++;
put_cpu_var(sockets_in_use);
This translates to :
c0436274: b8 01 00 00 00 mov $0x1,%eax
c0436279: e8 42 40 df ff call
c022a2c0 <add_preempt_count>

While percpu_add(sockets_in_use, 1) translates to a single instruction :
c0436275: 64 83 05 20 5f 6a c0 addl $0x1,%fs:0xc06a5f20
