percpu-refcount: consistently use plain (non-sched) RCU

Browse source 
percpu_ref_get/put() are using preempt_disable/enable() while
percpu_ref_kill() is using plain call_rcu() instead of
call_rcu_sched().  This is buggy as grace periods of the two may not
match.  Fix it by using plain RCU in percpu_ref_get/put().

(I suggested using sched RCU in the first place but there's no actual
 benefit in doing so unless we're gonna introduce different variants
 of get/put to be called while preemption is alredy disabled, which we
 definitely shouldn't.)
