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.
