When a reference counter is at zero and refcount_sub_and_test() is invoked to subtract zero, the function accepts this request without any warning and returns true. This behavior does not seem ideal because the counter being already at zero indicates a use-after-free. Furthermore, returning true by refcount_sub_and_test() in this case potentially results in a double-free done by its caller. Modify the underlying function __refcount_sub_and_test() to warn about this case as a use-after-free and have it return false to avoid the potential double-free.
