percpu, locking: Revert ("percpu: Replace smp_read_barrier_depends() with lockless_dereference()")

lockless_dereference() is planned to grow a sanity check to ensure
that the input parameter is a pointer.  __ref_is_percpu() passes in an
unsinged long value which is a combination of a pointer and a flag.
While it can be casted to a pointer lvalue, the casting looks messy
and it's a special case anyway.  Let's revert back to open-coding
READ_ONCE() and explicit barrier.

This doesn't cause any functional changes.
