Kent Overstreet 215e262f2a percpu: implement generic percpu refcounting
This implements a refcount with similar semantics to
atomic_get()/atomic_dec_and_test() - but percpu.

It also implements two stage shutdown, as we need it to tear down the
percpu counts.  Before dropping the initial refcount, you must call
percpu_ref_kill(); this puts the refcount in "shutting down mode" and
switches back to a single atomic refcount with the appropriate
barriers (synchronize_rcu()).

It's also legal to call percpu_ref_kill() multiple times - it only
returns true once, so callers don't have to reimplement shutdown
synchronization.

/*
* Initially, a percpu refcount is just a set of percpu counters. Initially, we
* don't try to detect the ref hitting 0 - which means that get/put can just
* increment or decrement the local counter. Note that the counter on a
* particular cpu can (and will) wrap - this is fine, when we go to shutdown the
* percpu counters will all sum to the correct value
*
* (More precisely: because moduler arithmatic is commutative the sum of all the
* pcpu_count vars will be equal to what it would have been if all the gets and
* puts were done to a single integer, even if some of the percpu integers
* overflow or underflow).
*
* The real trick to implementing percpu refcounts is shutdown. We can't detect
* the ref hitting 0 on every put - this would require global synchronization
* and defeat the whole purpose of using percpu refs.
*
* What we do is require the user to keep track of the initial refcount; we know
* the ref can't hit 0 before the user drops the initial ref, so as long as we
* convert to non percpu mode before the initial ref is dropped everything
* works.
*
* Converting to non percpu mode is done with some RCUish stuff in
* percpu_ref_kill. Additionally, we need a bias value so that the atomic_t
* can't hit 0 before we've added up all the percpu refs.
