ids_inflight is used to track the inflight IOs. But the use of atomic_t
variable can cause performance drops and can also become a performance
bottleneck.
This commit replaces the use of atomic_t with a percpu_ref structure. The
advantage it offers is, it doesn't check if the reference has fallen to 0,
until the user explicitly signals it to; and that is done by the
percpu_ref_kill() function call. After that, the percpu_ref structure
behaves like an atomic_t and for every put call, checks whether the
reference has fallen to 0 or not.
rtrs_srv_stats_rdma_to_str shows the count of ids_inflight as 0
for user-mode tools not to be confused.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
