When adding CONFIG_PCPU_DEV_REFCNT, I forgot that the
initial net device refcount was 0.
When CONFIG_PCPU_DEV_REFCNT is not set, this means
the first dev_hold() triggers an illegal refcount
operation (addition on 0)
refcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free.
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1 at lib/refcount.c:25 refcount_warn_saturate+0x128/0x1a4
Fix is to change initial (and final) refcount to be 1.
Also add a missing kerneldoc piece, as reported by
Stephen Rothwell.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
