percpu-refcount: Don't use silly cmpxchg()
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The cmpxchg() was just to ensure the debug check didn't race, which was
a bit excessive. The caller is supposed to do the appropriate
synchronization, which means percpu_ref_kill() can just do a simple
store.
