locking/atomic, kref: Kill kref_sub()

By general sentiment kref_sub() is a bad interface, make it go away.

* @kref: object.
* @count: Number of recounts to subtract.
* @release: pointer to the function that will clean up the object when the
* last reference to the object is released.
* This pointer is required, and it is not acceptable to pass kfree
* in as this function. If the caller does pass kfree to this
* function, you will be publicly mocked mercilessly by the kref
* maintainer, and anyone else who happens to notice it. You have
* been warned.
*
* Subtract @count from the refcount, and if 0, call release().
* Return 1 if the object was removed, otherwise return 0. Beware, if this
* function returns 0, you still can not count on the kref from remaining in
* memory. Only use the return value if you want to see if the kref is now
* gone, not present.
