kref: fix up the kfree build problems
It turns out that some memory allocators use kobjects, which use krefs, and kref.h was wanting to figure out the address of kfree(), which ended up in a loop. kfree was only being needed for a warning to tell the caller that they were doing something stupid. Now we just move that warning into the comments for the functions, which results in a bit more fun as everyone enjoys digging for people to mock at times of boredom. So, remove the dependancy of slab.h on kref.h, and fix up the other include file as well (we really only need bug.h and atomic.h, not types.h).
