nit: this optimization doesn't exist in practice, because the resv
lock is taken by the core, and ->v[un]map() are called with this lock
held.

I agree with your 2 other points (consistency with other refcounting
primitives and safeness provided by refcount_t) so

Reviewed-by: Boris Brezillon <boris.brezillon@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

but I'd recommend rephrasing/dropping the part mentioning the lock-free
optimization.
