Cover a race between doselwakeup() and selfdfree(). If doselwakeup()

Description

Cover a race between doselwakeup() and selfdfree(). If doselwakeup()
loop finds the selfd entry and clears its sf_si pointer, which is
handled by selfdfree() in parallel, NULL sf_si makes selfdfree() free
the memory. The result is the race and accesses to the freed memory.

Refcount the selfd ownership. One reference is for the sf_link
linkage, which is unconditionally dereferenced by selfdfree().
Another reference is for sf_threads, both selfdfree() and
doselwakeup() race to deref it, the winner unlinks and than frees the
selfd entry.
