Hi,

The 1st patch removes memory footprint of percpu_ref in fast path
from 7 words to 2 words, since it is often used in fast path and
embedded in user struct.

The 2nd patch moves .q_usage_counter to 1st cacheline of
'request_queue'.

Simple test on null_blk shows ~2% IOPS boost on one 16cores(two threads
per core) machine, dual socket/numa.

V5:
	- fix memory leak on ref->data, only percpu_ref_exit() of patch 2
	is modified.

V4:
	- rename percpu_ref_inited as percpu_ref_is_initialized

V3:
	- fix kernel oops on MD
	- add patch for avoiding to use percpu-refcount internal from md
	  code
	- pass Red Hat CKI test which is done by Veronika Kabatova

V2:
	- pass 'gfp' to kzalloc() for fixing block/027 failure reported by
	kernel test robot
	- protect percpu_ref_is_zero() with destroying percpu-refcount by
	spin lock  


Ming Lei (3):
  percpu_ref: add percpu_ref_is_initialized for MD
  percpu_ref: reduce memory footprint of percpu_ref in fast path
  block: move 'q_usage_counter' into front of 'request_queue'
