Tejun Heo 9a1049da9b percpu-refcount: require percpu_ref to be exited explicitly
Currently, a percpu_ref undoes percpu_ref_init() automatically by
freeing the allocated percpu area when the percpu_ref is killed.
While seemingly convenient, this has the following niggles.

* It's impossible to re-init a released reference counter without
  going through re-allocation.

* In the similar vein, it's impossible to initialize a percpu_ref
  count with static percpu variables.

* We need and have an explicit destructor anyway for failure paths -
  percpu_ref_cancel_init().

This patch removes the automatic percpu counter freeing in
percpu_ref_kill_rcu() and repurposes percpu_ref_cancel_init() into a
generic destructor now named percpu_ref_exit().  percpu_ref_destroy()
is considered but it gets confusing with percpu_ref_kill() while
"exit" clearly indicates that it's the counterpart of
percpu_ref_init().

All percpu_ref_cancel_init() users are updated to invoke
percpu_ref_exit() instead and explicit percpu_ref_exit() calls are
added to the destruction path of all percpu_ref users.
