liveupdate: Reference count outgoing FLB data
Increment the outgoing FLB refcount in liveupdate_flb_get_outgoing() so that the FLB structure cannot be freed while the caller is actively using it. Add an additional liveupdate_flb_put_outgoing() function so the caller can explicitly indicate when it is done using the outgoing FLB. During a Live Update, the kernel may need to fetch the outgoing FLB outside of the scope of a file handler's preserve() and unpreserve() callbacks. In that situation there is no way for the caller to protect itself against the outgoing FLB from being freed while it is using it. Incrementing the reference count in liveupdate_flb_get_outgoing() ensures it cannot be freed. This change also aligns the outgoing FLB lifecycle management with the incoming FLB, since the latter uses the same get/put semantics.
