kref: Add a kref_sub function

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.

* kref_sub - subtract a number of refcounts for object.
* @kref: object.
* @count: Number of recounts to subtract.
* @release: pointer to the function that will clean up the object when the
* last reference to the object is released.
* This pointer is required, and it is not acceptable to pass kfree
* in as this function.
*
* Subtract @count from the refcount, and if 0, call release().
* Return 1 if the object was removed, otherwise return 0. Beware, if this
* function returns 0, you still can not count on the kref from remaining in
* memory. Only use the return value if you want to see if the kref is now
* gone, not present.
