[PATCH 68/79] block: rust: add a debug assert for refcounts

From: Andreas Hindborg

Date: Sun Feb 15 2026 - 18:57:11 EST


Add a debug assertion in `ARef<Request>::dismiss` to verify that the
request refcount is at least two when an `ARef<Request>` exists. This
helps catch reference counting bugs during development.
