lockref: add 'lockref_get_or_lock() helper
This behaves like "lockref_get_not_zero()", but instead of doing nothing if the count was zero, it returns with the lock held. This allows callers to revalidate the lockref-protected data structure if required even if the count was zero to begin with, and possibly increment the count if it passes muster. In particular, the dentry code wants this when it wants to turn an RCU-protected dentry into a stable refcounted one: if the dentry count it zero, but the sequence number still validates the dentry, we can take a reference to it.
