[PATCH 1/3] lib/percpu-refcount: support to exit refcount automatically during releasing

[Ming Lei <ming.lei@redhat.com>]

We only have two users in which percpu_ref_exit() is called from
->release().

Add flag of PERCPU_REF_AUTO_EXIT for avoiding to call percpu_ref_exit()
from ->release() directly since we need to drain ->release() in
percpu_ref_exit() for fixing use-after-free.
