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.
