[PATCH 1/7] sync_file: get rid of internal reference count.

Thu Apr 13 01:41:38 UTC 2017


From: Dave Airlie <airlied at redhat.com>

sync_file uses the reference count of the file, the internal
kref was never getting moved past 1.

We can reintroduce this if we decide we need it later.

[airlied: fix buildbot warnings]
