This adds an smp_acquire__after_ctrl_dep() barrier on successful
decrease of refcounter value from 1 to 0 for refcount_dec(sub)_and_test
variants and therefore gives stronger memory ordering guarantees than
prior versions of these functions.

+An ACQUIRE memory ordering guarantees that all post loads and
