refcount(9) was recently extended to support waiting on a refcount to
drop to zero, as this was needed for a lockless VM object
paging-in-progress counter. However, this adds overhead to all uses of
refcount(9) and doesn't really match traditional refcounting semantics:
once a counter has dropped to zero, the protected object may be freed at
any point and it is not safe to dereference the counter.
This change removes that extension and instead adds a new set of KPIs,
blockcount_*, for use by VM object PIP and busy.
