From: Ying Xue <ying.xue@windriver.com>

When a new subscription object is inserted into name_seq->subscriptions
list, it's under name_seq->lock protection; when a subscription is
deleted from the list, it's also under the same lock protection;
similarly, when accessing a subscription by going through subscriptions
list, the entire process is also protected by the name_seq->lock.

Therefore, if subscription refcount is increased before it's inserted
into subscriptions list, and its refcount is decreased after it's
deleted from the list, it will be unnecessary to hold refcount at all
before accessing subscription object which is obtained by going through
subscriptions list under name_seq->lock protection.
