   * This function is intended to simplify locking around refcounting for

   * removed from that lookup structure in the object destructor.
   * Operations on such objects require at least a read lock around
   * lookup + kref_get, and a write lock around kref_put + remove from lookup
   * structure. Furthermore, RCU implementations become extremely tricky.
   * With a lookup followed by a kref_get_unless_zero *with return value check*
   * locking in the kref_put path can be deferred to the actual removal from
   * the lookup structure and RCU lookups become trivial.
