[LU-11051] remove obd_{get,put}ref() and call lov_{get,put}ref() directly

• Type: Improvement
• Resolution: Fixed

Description

obd_getref() and obd_putref() are only used in the lov layer and only implemented by the lov layer. So they can be removed in favor of direct calls. Also the naming of these functions can be improved, since they do not manage references on the lov device but on its targets array.
