percpu-refcount: add __must_check to percpu_ref_init() and don't use ACCESS_ONCE() in percpu_ref_kill_rcu()
Two small changes. * Unlike most init functions, percpu_ref_init() allocates memory and may fail. Let's mark it with __must_check in case the caller forgets. * percpu_ref_kill_rcu() is unnecessarily using ACCESS_ONCE() to dereference @ref->pcpu_count, which can be misleading. The pointer is guaranteed to be valid and visible and can't change underneath the function. Drop ACCESS_ONCE(). Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
