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.
