firewire: core: use kref structure to maintain lifetime of data for fw_request structure
Developers have acknowledged that maintenance of lifetime for fw_transaction structure is effective when handling asynchronous transaction to IEC 61883-1 FCP region, since the core function allows multiples listeners to the region. Some of them needs to access to the payload of request in process context after the callback to listener, while the core function releases the object for the structure just after completing the callbacks to listeners. One of the listeners is character device. Current implementation of the character device duplicates the object for the payload of transaction, while it's a cost in kernel memory consumption. The lifetime management can reduce it. The typical way to maintain the lifetime is reference count. This commit uses kref structure as a first step for the purpose.
