locking/refcounts: Change WARN() to WARN_ONCE()

2017-03-01T08:25:55Z

Linus noticed that the new refcount.h APIs used WARN(), which would turn into a dmesg DoS if it triggers frequently on some buggy driver. So make sure we only warn once. These warnings are never supposed to happen, so it's typically not a problem to lose subsequent warnings.

Linus asked to please make this real C code. And since size then isn't an issue what so ever anymore, remove the debug knob and make all WARN()s unconditional.
