Applied to pci/p2pdma for v5.17, thanks!

  PCI/P2PDMA: Use percpu_ref_tryget_live_rcu() inside RCU critical section

  Since pci_alloc_p2pmem() has already called rcu_read_lock(), we're in an
  RCU read-side critical section and don't need to take the lock again.  Use
  percpu_ref_tryget_live_rcu() instead of percpu_ref_tryget_live() to save a
  few cycles.
