/*
 * This is an implementation of the notion of "decrement a
 * reference count, and return locked if it decremented to zero".
 *
 * NOTE NOTE NOTE! This is _not_ equivalent to
 *
 *	if (atomic_dec_and_test(&atomic)) {
 *		spin_lock(&lock);
 *		return 1;
 *	}
 *	return 0;
 *
 * because the spin-lock and the decrement must be
 * "atomic".
