Subject: [PATCH 1/2] sched: Introduce APIs for waiting multi events


Impact: make kernel has APIs for waiting multi events

Based on code in the RCU, the simple waiting-multi-events
algorithm may do not serve RCU only.

Introduce 5 APIs for waiting multi events

start scheduling events:  ref_completion_get_init()
schedule one event:       ref_completion_get()
end scheduling events:    ref_completion_put_init()

any event is finished:    ref_completion_put()

waiting scheduled events: ref_completion_wait()
