[Devel] [PATCH RHEL7] Revert "ub: introduce helper for real "held" value (without precharge)"

[Valeriy Vdovin]

This reverts commit 3fb610430bd73284c61cb69aa8f7264f25b0e924.

This commit had 4 problems:
1. The helper function get_beancounter_held_real did not encapsulate
a lot of logic and only substituted a single line of code in original
location.
2. The same function was only called from a single place.
3. It introduced logic gap between a call to ub_precharge_snapshot
and the actual use of it's result when subtracting the sum of all
per-cpu precharges from held.
4. It also introduced a WARN check of values that are racy by design
without actually holding a lock. There are two possible ways to resolve
this, add locking to defeat race, or remove the warning. There are 2
arguments that stand against adding locking here: a) this is a stat
displaying codepath, b) warning checks values that are especially
designed to be lockless for speed.
