percpu-refcount: add __must_check to percpu_ref_init() and don't use ACCESS_ONCE() in percpu_ref_kill_rcu()
Two small changes.
* Unlike most init functions, percpu_ref_init() allocates memory and
may fail. Let's mark it with __must_check in case the caller
forgets.
* percpu_ref_kill_rcu() is unnecessarily using ACCESS_ONCE() to
dereference @ref->pcpu_count, which can be misleading. The pointer
is guaranteed to be valid and visible and can't change underneath
the function. Drop ACCESS_ONCE().
