drm/i915: Remove kref from i915_sw_fence
My original intention was for i915_sw_fence to be the base class and provide the reference count for the container. This was from starting with a design to handle async_work. In practice, for i915 we embed fences into structs which have their own independent reference counting, making the i915_sw_fence.kref duplicitous. If we remove the kref, we remove the i915_sw_fence's ability to free itself and its independence, it can only exist within a container and must be supplied with a callback to handle its release.
