Subject: [PATCH 2/2 percpu/for-3.20] percpu_ref: implement
 percpu_ref_is_dying()

Implement percpu_ref_is_dying() which tests whether the ref is dying
or dead.  This is useful to determine the current state when a
percpu_ref is used as a cyclic on/off switch via kill and reinit.

Hello,

This will be used by the scheduled cgroup writeback support.  I'm
applying these two to percpu/for-3.20.

Thanks.
