percpu-refcount: init ->confirm_switch member properly
This patch targets two things which are related to ->confirm_switch:
1. Init ->confirm_switch pointer with NULL on percpu_ref_init() or
kernel frightfully complains with WARN_ON_ONCE(ref->confirm_switch)
at __percpu_ref_switch_to_atomic if memory chunk was not properly
zeroed.
2. Warn if RCU callback is still in progress on percpu_ref_exit().
The race still exists, because percpu_ref_call_confirm_rcu()
drops ->confirm_switch to NULL early, but that is only a warning
and still the caller is responsible that ref is no longer in
active use. Hopefully that can help to catch incorrect usage
of percpu-refcount.
