[PATCH] locking/refcounts: Do not force refcount_t usage as GPL-only export

From: Kees Cook
Date: Mon Dec 04 2017 - 20:25:48 EST


The refcount_t protection on x86 was not intended to use the stricter
GPL export. This adjusts the linkage again to avoid a regression in
the availability of the refcount API.
