locking/refcounts: Do not force refcount_t usage as GPL-only export



commit b562c171cf011d297059bd0265742eb5fab0ad2f upstream.

The refcount_t protection on x86 was not intended to use the stricter
GPL export. This adjusts the linkage again to avoid a regression in
the availability of the refcount API.
