Commit f5d3ef25d2 ("rust: devres: get rid of Devres' inner Arc") did
attempt to optimize away the internal reference count of Devres.
However, without an internal reference count, we can't support cases
where Devres is indirectly nested, resulting into a deadlock.
Such indirect nesting easily happens in the following way:
A registration object (which is guarded by devres) hold a reference
count of an object that holds a device resource guarded by devres
itself.
For instance a drm::Registration holds a reference of a drm::Device. The
drm::Device itself holds a device resource in its private data.
When the drm::Registration is dropped by devres, and it happens that it
did hold the last reference count of the drm::Device, it also drops the
device resource, which is guarded by devres itself.
Thus, resulting into a deadlock in the Devres destructor of the device
resource, as in the following backtrace.

In order to fix this, re-introduce the internal reference count.
