Currently there's a custom reference counting in `block::mq`, which uses
`AtomicU64` Rust atomics, and this type doesn't exist on some 32-bit
architectures. We cannot just change it to use 32-bit atomics, because
doing so will make it vulnerable to refcount overflow. So switch it to
use the kernel refcount `kernel::sync::Refcount` instead.
There is an operation needed by `block::mq`, atomically decreasing
refcount from 2 to 0, which is not available through refcount.h, so
I exposed `Refcount::as_atomic` which allows accessing the refcount
directly.
