Ioana reported a refcount warning when booting over NFS:

[    5.042532] ------------[ cut here ]------------
[    5.047184] refcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free.

fib_treeref needs to be set after kzalloc. The old code had a ++ which
led to the confusion when the int was replaced by a refcount_t.

Thank you for the patch!

My CI was also complaining of not being able to run kernel selftests [1].
Your patch fixes the issue, thanks!

Given how easily it is to trigger the warning, I get the impression the
original was an untested patch.

Yeah :( In hindsight any refcount patch which doesn't contain a
refcount_set() is suspicious. Thanks for the quick fix, applied!

Sorry for that, there is another patch needed to apply for the same reason. I just submitted it.
