We attempt to protect against this with the FFD_F_ATOMIC bit, but that isn't reliable. We don't actually need to juggle these refcounts between atomic and percpu switch, and if we drop those, we can also drop the FFD_F_ATOMIC bit and clean the whole thing up. With that, the io_atomic_switch() is now useless, so drop that too.
