lib: cpu_rmap: avoid flushing all workqueues

In some cases, free_irq_cpu_rmap() is called while holding a lock (eg
rtnl).  This can lead to deadlocks, because it invokes
flush_scheduled_work() which ends up waiting for whole system workqueue
to flush, but some pending works might try to acquire the lock we are
already holding.

This commit uses reference-counting to replace
irq_run_affinity_notifiers().  It also removes
irq_run_affinity_notifiers() altogether.

[akpm@linux-foundation.org: eliminate free_cpu_rmap, rename cpu_rmap_reclaim() to cpu_rmap_release(), propagate kref_put() retval from cpu_rmap_put()]
