trafgen: minor fix to help text for option "--no-sock-mem"
Pushed last commit a bit too fast. The help text described that the single letter option for "--no-sock-mem" were "-m", which is wrong the right option is "-A" (only help txt, correct in the code and manual). Signed-off-by: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <brouer@redhat.com>

ss='commit-subject'>percpu-refcount: fix reference leak during percpu-atomic transition
percpu_ref_tryget() and percpu_ref_tryget_live() should return "true" IFF they acquire a reference. But the return value from atomic_long_inc_not_zero() is a long and may have high bits set, e.g. PERCPU_COUNT_BIAS, and the return value of the tryget routines is bool so the reference may actually be acquired but the routines return "false" which results in a reference leak since the caller assumes it does not need to do a corresponding percpu_ref_put(). This was seen when performing CPU hotplug during I/O, as hangs in blk_mq_freeze_queue_wait where percpu_ref_kill (blk_mq_freeze_queue_start) raced with percpu_ref_tryget (blk_mq_timeout_work). Sample stack trace: __switch_to+0x2c0/0x450 __schedule+0x2f8/0x970 schedule+0x48/0xc0 blk_mq_freeze_queue_wait+0x94/0x120 blk_mq_queue_reinit_work+0xb8/0x180 blk_mq_queue_reinit_prepare+0x84/0xa0 cpuhp_invoke_callback+0x17c/0x600 cpuhp_up_callbacks+0x58/0x150 _cpu_up+0xf0/0x1c0 do_cpu_up+0x120/0x150 cpu_subsys_online+0x64/0xe0 device_online+0xb4/0x120 online_store+0xb4/0xc0 dev_attr_store+0x68/0xa0 sysfs_kf_write+0x80/0xb0 kernfs_fop_write+0x17c/0x250 __vfs_write+0x6c/0x1e0 vfs_write+0xd0/0x270 SyS_write+0x6c/0x110 system_call+0x38/0xe0 Examination of the queue showed a single reference (no PERCPU_COUNT_BIAS, and __PERCPU_REF_DEAD, __PERCPU_REF_ATOMIC set) and no requests. However, conditions at the time of the race are count of PERCPU_COUNT_BIAS + 0 and __PERCPU_REF_DEAD and __PERCPU_REF_ATOMIC set. The fix is to make the tryget routines use an actual boolean internally instead of the atomic long result truncated to a int.
