Subject: [PATCH hurd 05/13] libdiskfs: lock-less reference counting of nodes

* libdiskfs/diskfs.h (struct node): Use refcounts_t for reference counting.
(diskfs_node_refcnt_lock): Remove.
(diskfs_node_norefs,diskfs_drop_node): Change comments accordingly.
* libdiskfs/init-init.c: Adjust accordingly.
* libdiskfs/node-drop.c: Likewise.
* libdiskfs/node-make.c: Likewise.
* libdiskfs/node-nput.c: Likewise.
* libdiskfs/node-nputl.c: Likewise.
* libdiskfs/node-nref.c: Likewise.
* libdiskfs/node-nrefl.c: Likewise.
* libdiskfs/node-nrele.c: Likewise.
* libdiskfs/node-nrelel.c: Likewise.
* ext2fs/inode.c: Likewise.
* fatfs/inode.c: Likewise.
* isofs/inode.c: Likewise.
* tmpfs/node.c: Likewise.
* doc/hurd.texi: Likewise.
