RCU must be held until the refcount is increased. I don't think there
is difference in whether it's done by nesting or by duplicating all the
helpers without the rcu_read_lock().

The rcu_read_lock() in the helpers is probaly something that should be
done away with --- the caller needs to hold RCU or suitable other lock
if it wants to use the returned value safely.
