Thread-safe creation of a Tf ref pointer from a Tf weak pointer.
This is thread-safe in the sense that the result will be either a ref pointer to a live object with non-zero ref-count, or a NULL ref pointer. However, this depends on the client to provide a guarantee to protect the pointed-to object.
Specifically, the caller must guarantee that the TfRefBase part of the pointed-to object is not destroyed during this call. It is fine if the destruction process for the object begins (due to the ref-count going to zero as another thread drops the last ref) as long as the TfRefBase portion is not destroyed. If object destruction begins because the ref-count goes to zero before this call completes, this function will reliably return a NULL ref pointer.
Note that this is not a general mechanism for safely converting weak pointers to ref pointers, because it relies on the type T to provide the above guarantee.
