[PATCH RFC 2/3] percpu-refcount: allow to get dead reference

[Vladimir Davydov <vdavydov@parallels.com>]

Currently percpu_ref_tryget fails after percpu_ref_kill is called, even
if refcnt != 0. In the next patch I need a method to get a ref that will
only fail if refcnt == 0, so let's extend the interface to percpu ref a
bit to allow that.
