Peter Zijlstra a435b9a143 locking/refcount: Provide __refcount API to obtain the old value ...

David requested means to obtain the old/previous value from the
refcount API for tracing purposes.

Duplicate (most of) the API as __refcount*() with an additional
'int *' argument into which, if !NULL, the old value will be stored.
