I suppose I could wrap last in #ifdef INVARIANTS, but that’s rather ugly
too.
Asserting that the refcount is at least 1 when entering pf_release_state()
would express the same, but that’s also problematic.
Of course, errors should trigger the KASSERT() in refcount_release(), so I
think I may have convinced myself that the KASSERT() can in fact be removed
and replaced with (void)refcount_release() and a comment explaining why
this refcount_release() can never return 1.
It would be good to have a Coverty cheer sheet so we know how to annotate
this stuff correctly in the source. I've started fumbling my way through
for the boot loader and devmatch changes...
