From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx>
Reference counters should use refcount_t rather than atomic_t, since the
refcount_t implementation can prevent overflows, reducing the
exploitability of reference leak bugs. userfaultfd_ctx::refcount is a
reference counter with the usual semantics, so convert it to refcount_t.
Note: I replaced the BUG() on incrementing a 0 refcount with just
refcount_inc(), since already part of the semantics of refcount_t is
that that incrementing a 0 refcount is not allowed; with
CONFIG_REFCOUNT_FULL, refcount_inc() checks for it and warns.
