FYI, it's often easier to review manpage changes if a rendered version is
included.

Need to add the new functions to the .Nm list

Hmm, <sys/lock.h> should also be required for the other three and not just sx?

Even though it is tedious, most manpages tend to spell out the list of functions
(e.g. I did so in callout recently with all the callout_init_*() variants, etc.).
I believe I broke this rule in atomic(9), but I think if the list of functions
isn't too unreasonable, it's better to explicitly list them (and I think 4 functions
isn't unreasonable).

Perhaps:

functions release an existing reference similar to
.Fn refcount_release .
If the reference being released is the last reference,
the
.Fa lock
is exclusively acquired before the reference is dropped and remains held when
the function returns.
These functions return a non-zero value if the reference being released was the
last reference;
otherwise,
they return zero.

This this is just about return values, I would instead just update the previous
sentence to add the additional functions.  I.e.:

The
.Fn refcount_release ,   # this is probably my fault, should be Fn
.Fn refcount_release_lock_mtx ,
...
and
.Fn refcount_release_lock sx
functions return non-zero ...

.Fn refcount_release_lock_rmlock ,
