TTM buffer objects provide ttm_bo_reference() and ttm_bo_unref() for managing reference counters. This patch set introduces ttm_bo_get() and ttm_ot_put(), which follow Linux kernel conventions. A call to ttm_bo_unref() clears the supplied pointer to NULL. This is unnecessary in most cases and occationally callers have to work around this behaviour. ttm_bo_put() only releases the reference, but keeps the pointer's value. This patch set introduces ttm_bo_get() and ttm_bo_put(), and converts TTM to the new functions. The old functions remain in place until all callers have been converted.
