Subject: [PATCH 02/28] SLOW_WORK: Make slow_work_ops ->get_ref/->put_ref
	optional

From: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@...cle.com>

Make the ability for the slow-work facility to take references on a work item
optional as not everyone requires this.

Even the internal slow-work stubs them out, so those can be got rid of too.
