kref: minor cleanup
- make warning smp-safe - result of atomic _unless_zero functions should be checked by caller to avoid use-after-free error - trivial whitespace fix. Link: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/4/12/391 Tested: compile x86, boot machine and run xfstests Signed-off-by: Anatol Pomozov <anatol.pomozov@gmail.com> [ Removed line-break, changed to use WARN_ON_ONCE() - Linus ] Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
