Yeah, something like that. If keeping the inc operation a single
atomic op is important for performance or whatever reasons, you can
play some trick with large negative bias value while activation is
going on and use atomic_add_return() to determine both whether it's
the first incrementer and someone else is in the process of
activating.

Thanks.
