    locking/atomic, kref: Add kref_read() · 2c935bc5
    Peter Zijlstra authored
    Since we need to change the implementation, stop exposing internals.
    
    Provide kref_read() to read the current reference count; typically
    used for debug messages.
    
    Kills two anti-patterns:
    
    	atomic_read(&kref->refcount)
    	kref->refcount.counter
