locking/atomic, kref: Add kref_read()
commit 2c935bc57221cc2edc787c72ea0e2d30cdcd3d5e upstream.
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
