docs: remove :c:func: from refcount-vs-atomic.rst
As of 5.3, the automarkup extension will do the right thing with function() notation, so we don't need to clutter the text with :c:func: invocations. So remove them. Looking at the generated output reveals that we lack kerneldoc coverage for much of this API, but that's a separate problem. Acked-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
