I don't believe that it's currently safe to use get_css_set() on a
zero-refcount css_set anyway - a css_set starts with refcount 1 and
can be freed the moment that its refcount reaches 0. You can only use
get_css_set() on a stable reference to an existing css_set, which by
definition has a refcount of at least 1. Were you thinking of any
particular existing uses?
