percpu-refcount: implement percpu_tryget() along with percpu_ref_kill_and_confirm()
Implement percpu_tryget() which stops giving out references once the percpu_ref is visible as killed. Because the refcnt is per-cpu, different CPUs will start to see a refcnt as killed at different points in time and tryget() may continue to succeed on subset of cpus for a while after percpu_ref_kill() returns. For use cases where it's necessary to know when all CPUs start to see the refcnt as dead, percpu_ref_kill_and_confirm() is added. The new function takes an extra argument @confirm_kill which is invoked when the refcnt is guaranteed to be viewed as killed on all CPUs. While this isn't the prettiest interface, it doesn't force synchronous wait and is much safer than requiring the caller to do its own call_rcu(). v2: Patch description rephrased to emphasize that tryget() may continue to succeed on some CPUs after kill() returns as suggested by Kent. v3: Function comment in percpu_ref_kill_and_confirm() updated warning people to not depend on the implied RCU grace period from the confirm callback as it's an implementation detail.
