lib: refcount: Cause kernel panic on refcount error detection

Currently, when using the refcount API functions,
a warning is printed out once to let a user of
the refcount API know that an error case has been
detected. Then the refcount functions will
silently return, without modifying the reference count, which
could be mistaken for a successful modification. This can
allow for improper use of the object associated with that
refcount later. Trigger a kernel panic in case of refcount
error detection to prevent misuse of objects associated with
refcounts.

bool "Kernel panic on refcount error detection"
depends on REFCOUNT_FULL
help
If enabled, the kernel will panic when the refcount library
has detected any type of error (e.g. potential use-after-free
or potential memory-leaks) with an object associated with that
reference counter.
