[PATCH net-next v4] net/smc: Use percpu ref for wr tx reference

Kai

The refcount wr_tx_refcnt may cause cache thrashing problems among
cores and we can use percpu ref to mitigate this issue here. We
gain some performance improvement with percpu ref here on our
customized smc-r verion. Applying cache alignment may also mitigate
this problem but it seem more reasonable to use percpu ref here.
We can also replace wr_reg_refcnt with one percpu reference like
wr_tx_refcnt.

redis-benchmark on smc-r with atomic wr_tx_refcnt:
SET: 525707.06 requests per second, p50=0.087 msec
GET: 554877.38 requests per second, p50=0.087 msec

redis-benchmark on the percpu_ref version:
SET: 540482.06 requests per second, p50=0.087 msec
GET: 570711.12 requests per second, p50=0.079 msec

Cases are like "redis-benchmark -h x.x.x.x -q -t set,get -P 1 -n
5000000 -c 50 -d 10 --threads 4".

v1->v2:
- Modify patch prefix

v2->v3:
- Make wr_reg_refcnt a percpu one as well
- Init percpu ref with 0 flag instead of ALLOW_REINIT flag

v3->v4:
- Update performance data, this data may differ from previous data
as I ran cases on other machines
