We can't use krefs since it's apparently restricted to very basic
reference counting.

This reverts commit e4a683c8.

Add kref_test_and_get() function, which atomically add a reference only if
refcount is not zero. This prevent to add a reference to an object that is
already being removed.

Makes it possible to optimize batched multiple unrefs.
Initial user will be drivers/gpu/ttm which accumulates unrefs to be
processed outside of atomic code.

Of the three uses of kref_set in the kernel:

 One really should be kref_put as the code is letting go of a
    reference,
 Two really should be kref_init because the kref is being
    initialised.

This suggests that making kref_set available encourages bad code.
So fix the three uses and remove kref_set completely.

* remove asm/atomic.h inclusion from kref.h -- not needed, linux/types.h
  is enough for atomic_t
* remove linux/kref.h inclusion from files which do not need it.

Remove the "#ifdef __KERNEL__" tests from unexported header files in
linux/include whose entire contents are wrapped in that preprocessor
test.

This adds kref_set() to the kref api for future use by people who really
know what they are doing with krefs...

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
