As reported by Kumar in [0], the shared ownership implementation for BPF programs has some race conditions which need to be addressed before it can safely be used. This patch does so in a minimal way instead of ripping out shared ownership entirely, as proper fixes for the issues raised will follow ASAP, at which point this patch's commit can be reverted to re-enable shared ownership. The patch removes the ability to call bpf_refcount_acquire_impl from BPF programs. Programs can only bump refcount and obtain a new owning reference using this kfunc, so removing the ability to call it effectively disables shared ownership. Instead of changing success / failure expectations for bpf_refcount-related selftests, this patch just disables them from running for now.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
