MB-23263: DefragmenterVisitor: Check blob refcount
This patch adds the facility to check the refcount value of a
SingleThreadedRCPTR and uses this to ensure that the refcount of the
blob is less than 2 before the defragmenter reallocates it. This is to
ensure that we do not end up just creating a copy of the blob thus
increasing memory usage which would be the opposite of what you would
expect from the defragmenter.
It's worth noting that it appears as though something could create
another reference to the blob without holding the hashtable lock. This
could lead to a soft data race on the refcount. This means that we
cannot give a hard guarantee that the defragmenter doesn't duplicate the
blob, just that it will in most cases. The case where it won't will be
where the other thing creating the reference doesn't hold the hash
bucket lock and happens to create a reference after refcount is read but
before the blob is reallocated, which seems rare.
