commit d557d1b58b3546bab2c5bc2d624c5709840e6b10 upstream.

Now that kref is using the refcount apis, the _GPL markings are getting
exported to places that it previously wasn't.  Now kref.h is GPLv2
licensed, so any non-GPL code using it better be talking to some
lawyers, but changing api markings isn't considered "nice", so let's fix
this up.

Linus noticed that the new refcount.h APIs used WARN(), which would turn
into a dmesg DoS if it triggers frequently on some buggy driver.

So make sure we only warn once. These warnings are never supposed to happen,
so it's typically not a problem to lose subsequent warnings.

Linus asked to please make this real C code.

And since size then isn't an issue what so ever anymore, remove the
debug knob and make all WARN()s unconditional.
