    kernel/linker: preserve refs after unload veto
    
    linker_file_unload() used to take a temporary file reference (file->refs)
    before notifying modules to unload [1].  Its veto path dropped that
    temporary reference before returning the error.
    
    The 2009 linker code sync with FreeBSD [2] removed the temporary
    reference but retained the decrement.  Therefore, every failed kldunload
    reduced 'file->refs' even though the file remained loaded, allowing
    repeated EBUSY returns to drive the count below zero.
    
    Keep the existing reference when a module vetoes unload.  sys_kldunload()
    already restores userrefs on error, and a later unload attempt can retry
    with both counters unchanged.
    
    [1] Handle recursive situations a bit more robustly ...
