Subject: [PATCH 4/5] SUNRPC: discard sv_refcnt, and svc_get/svc_put

sv_refcnt is no longer useful.
lockd and nfs-cb only ever have the svc active when there are a non-zero
number of threads, so sv_refcnt mirrors sv_nrthreads.

nfsd also keeps the svc active between when a socket is added and when
the first thread is started, but we don't really need a refcount for
that. We can simple not destory the svc after adding a socket.

So remove sv_refcnt and the get/put functions.
Instead of a final call to svc_put(), call svc_destroy() instead.
This is changed to also store NULL in the passed-in pointer to make it
easier to avoid use-after-free situations.
