blk-mq: use percpu_ref for mq usage count
Currently, blk-mq uses a percpu_counter to keep track of how many usages are in flight. The percpu_counter is drained while freezing to ensure that no usage is left in-flight after freezing is complete. blk_mq_queue_enter/exit() and blk_mq_[un]freeze_queue() implement this per-cpu gating mechanism. This type of code has relatively high chance of subtle bugs which are extremely difficult to trigger and it's way too hairy to be open coded in blk-mq. percpu_ref can serve the same purpose after the recent changes. This patch replaces the open-coded per-cpu usage counting and draining mechanism with percpu_ref. blk_mq_queue_enter() performs tryget_live on the ref and exit() performs put. blk_mq_freeze_queue() kills the ref and waits until the reference count reaches zero. blk_mq_unfreeze_queue() revives the ref and wakes up the waiters.
