Will Deacon 1eb085d942 locking/refcount: Move saturation warnings out of line
Having the refcount saturation and warnings inline bloats the text,
despite the fact that these paths should never be executed in normal
operation.

Move the refcount saturation and warnings out of line to reduce the
image size when refcount_t checking is enabled. Relative to an x86_64
defconfig, the sizes reported by bloat-o-meter are:

 # defconfig+REFCOUNT_FULL, inline saturation (i.e. before this patch)
 Total: Before=14762076, After=14915442, chg +1.04%

 # defconfig+REFCOUNT_FULL, out-of-line saturation (i.e. after this patch)
 Total: Before=14762076, After=14835497, chg +0.50%

A side-effect of this change is that we now only get one warning per
refcount saturation type, rather than one per problematic call-site.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
