Petr Pavlu f91f7ac900 refcount: Report UAF for refcount_sub_and_test(0) when counter==0
When a reference counter is at zero and refcount_sub_and_test() is invoked
to subtract zero, the function accepts this request without any warning and
returns true. This behavior does not seem ideal because the counter being
already at zero indicates a use-after-free. Furthermore, returning true by
refcount_sub_and_test() in this case potentially results in a double-free
done by its caller.

Modify the underlying function __refcount_sub_and_test() to warn about this
case as a use-after-free and have it return false to avoid the potential
double-free.
