Subject: [PATCH 6/6] kmod: optional: Convert the use of xchg to a kref
if we use a kref instead of xchg to govern the lifetime
of struct subprocess_info, the code becomes simpler and
more generic. We can avoid some of the special cases.
Actually I like the xchg use here. But if it will break
some ARCHs that do not like xchg, then here is the work
needed.
No functional change
