percpu-refcount: implement percpu_ref_reinit() and percpu_ref_is_zero()
Now that explicit invocation of percpu_ref_exit() is necessary to free the percpu counter, we can implement percpu_ref_reinit() which reinitializes a released percpu_ref. This can be used implement scalable gating switch which can be drained and then re-opened without worrying about memory allocation failures. percpu_ref_is_zero() is added to be used in a sanity check in percpu_ref_exit(). As this function will be useful for other purposes too, make it a public interface. v2: Use smp_read_barrier_depends() instead of smp_load_acquire(). We only need data dep barrier and smp_load_acquire() is stronger and heavier on some archs. Spotted by Lai Jiangshan.
