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
