[PATCH] locking/refcounts: Remove refcount_sub() extern

[Kees Cook]

CONFIG_REFCOUNT_FULL (correctly) did not provide a refcount_sub(), which
should not be part of proper refcount design patterns. This removes the
erroneous extern (and the later non-FULL accidental implementation).

Fixes: 29dee3c03abc ("locking/refcounts: Out-of-line everything")

This should be applied to locking/core for -next, please.
