This patch changes the anon_vma refcount to be 0 when the object is free.
It does this by adding 1 ref to being in use in the anon_vma structure
(iow.  the anon_vma->head list is not empty).

This allows a simpler release scheme without having to check both the
refcount and the list as well as avoids taking a ref for each entry on the
list.
