Currently, context user references are tracked via the list of LUNs that have attached to the context. While convenient, this is not intuitive without a deep study of the code and is inconsistent with the existing reference tracking patterns within the kernel. This design choice can lead to future bug injection. To improve code comprehension and better protect against future bugs, add explicit reference counting to contexts and migrate the context removal code to the kref release handler.
