netmem_inc/dec_ref() to follow the object_action() naming convention.
Use *_inc_ref() and *_dec_ref() rather than netmem_ref() because
netmem_ref is already the typedef for the generic network memory handle.
The merge window for Linux v7.4 has begun, and the net-next
tree is now closed for new drivers, features, code refactoring
and optimizations. We are currently accepting bug fixes only.
Please repost when net-next reopens. There is some uncertainty
about how long this merge window will last, so please check
https://netdev.bots.linux.dev/net-next.html
before reposting. net-next _may_ reopen on Nov 2nd.
