locking/refcounts, x86/asm: Disable CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_REFCOUNT for the time being
Mike Galbraith bisected a boot crash back to the following commit:
7a46ec0e2f48 ("locking/refcounts, x86/asm: Implement fast refcount overflow protection")
The crash/hang pattern is:
> Symptom is a few splats as below, with box finally hanging. Network
> comes up, but neither ssh nor console login is possible.
>
> ------------[ cut here ]------------
> WARNING: CPU: 4 PID: 0 at net/netlink/af_netlink.c:374 netlink_sock_destruct+0x82/0xa0
> ...
> __sk_destruct()
> rcu_process_callbacks()
> __do_softirq()
> irq_exit()
> smp_apic_timer_interrupt()
> apic_timer_interrupt()
We are at -rc7 already, and the code has grown some dependencies, so
instead of a plain revert disable the config temporarily, in the hope
of getting real fixes.
