num_counters is only used for deciding whether to grow the bulk query buffer, which is done once more counters than a small initial threshold are present. After that, maintaining num_counters serves no purpose. This commit replaces that with an actual xarray traversal to count the counters. This appears expensive at first sight, but is only done when the number of counters is less than the initial threshold (8) and only once every sampling interval. Once the number of counters goes above the threshold, the bulk query buffer is grown to max size and the xarray traversal is never done again.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
