The downside of this change is that this means we get one warning per
refcount_saturation_type, where as before it was once per refcount
usage. I think, ultimately, this is okay, but it is a behavioral change
that might be worth pointing out.

This define seems like overkill for just adding a prefix to 5 uses...

Even the longest doesn't line wrap:

                WARN_ONCE(1, "refcount_t: decrement hit 0; leaking memory\n");

This deserves a string too, yes?

                WARN_ONCE(1, "refcount_t: unknown saturation event!?\n");

Otherwise, okay, I grudgingly accept the loss of warnings when running
the lkdtm tests in order to gain back some text size... :)
