From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>

I was working on a syzbot issue, claiming one device could not be
dismantled because its refcount was -1

unregister_netdevice: waiting for sit0 to become free. Usage count = -1

It would be nice if syzbot could trigger a warning at the time
this reference count became negative.

This patch adds CONFIG_PCPU_DEV_REFCNT options which defaults
to per cpu variables (as before this patch) on SMP builds.
