As reported by Kumar in [0], the shared ownership implementation for BPF
programs has some race conditions which need to be addressed before it
can safely be used. This patch does so in a minimal way instead of
ripping out shared ownership entirely, as proper fixes for the issues
raised will follow ASAP, at which point this patch's commit can be
reverted to re-enable shared ownership.

The patch removes the ability to call bpf_refcount_acquire_impl from BPF
programs. Programs can only bump refcount and obtain a new owning
reference using this kfunc, so removing the ability to call it
effectively disables shared ownership.

Instead of changing success / failure expectations for
bpf_refcount-related selftests, this patch just disables them from
running for now.
