[PATCH v3] mlx5: Use refcount_t for refcount

From: Chuhong Yuan
Date: Mon Aug 05 2019 - 22:00:03 EST


Reference counters are preferred to use refcount_t instead of
atomic_t.
This is because the implementation of refcount_t can prevent
overflows and detect possible use-after-free.
So convert atomic_t ref counters to refcount_t.
