From: Elena Reshetova <elena.reshetova@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: ipc: convert ipc_namespace.count from atomic_t to refcount_t refcount_t type and corresponding API should be used instead of atomic_t when the variable is used as a reference counter. This allows to avoid accidental refcounter overflows that might lead to use-after-free situations.
