d557d1b58b refcount: change EXPORT_SYMBOL markings
Now that kref is using the refcount apis, the _GPL markings are getting
exported to places that it previously wasn't.  Now kref.h is GPLv2
licensed, so any non-GPL code using it better be talking to some
lawyers, but changing api markings isn't considered "nice", so let's fix
this up.

9dcfe2c75b locking/refcounts: Change WARN() to WARN_ONCE()
Linus noticed that the new refcount.h APIs used WARN(), which would turn
into a dmesg DoS if it triggers frequently on some buggy driver.

So make sure we only warn once. These warnings are never supposed to happen,
so it's typically not a problem to lose subsequent warnings.

29dee3c03a locking/refcounts: Out-of-line everything
Linus asked to please make this real C code.

And since size then isn't an issue what so ever anymore, remove the
debug knob and make all WARN()s unconditional.
