tracing/user_events: Track refcount consistently via put/get
Various parts of the code today track user_event's refcnt field directly via a refcount_add/dec. This makes it hard to modify the behavior of the last reference decrement in all code paths consistently. For example, in the future we will auto-delete events upon the last reference going away. This last reference could happen in many places, but we want it to be consistently handled. Add user_event_get() and user_event_put() for the add/dec. Update all places where direct refcounts are being used to utilize these new functions. In each location pass if event_mutex is locked or not. This allows us to drop events automatically in future patches clearly. Ensure when caller states the lock is held, it really is (or is not) held.
