Subject: [PATCH] net/tcp_sigpool: Use kref_get_unless_zero()

The freeing and re-allocation of algorithm are protected by cpool_mutex,
so it doesn't fix an actual use-after-free, but avoids a deserved
refcount_warn_saturate() warning.

A trivial fix for the racy behavior.

Fixes: 8c73b26315aa ("net/tcp: Prepare tcp_md5sig_pool for TCP-AO")
