[PATCH 2/4] ucount: Replace get_ucounts_or_wrap() with atomic_inc_not_zero().

[Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

get_ucounts_or_wrap() increments the counter and if the counter is
negative then it decrements it again in order to reset the previous increment.
This statement can be replaced with atomic_inc_not_zero() to only
increment the counter if it is not yet 0.
This simplifies the get function because the put (if the get failed) can
be removed. atomic_inc_not_zero() is implement as a cmpxchg() loop which
can be repeated several times if another get/put is performed in parallel. This
will be optimized later.

Increment the reference counter only if not yet dropped to zero.
