kref: remove kref_set
Of the three uses of kref_set in the kernel: One really should be kref_put as the code is letting go of a reference, Two really should be kref_init because the kref is being initialised. This suggests that making kref_set available encourages bad code. So fix the three uses and remove kref_set completely.
