[PATCH] sound: convert snd_seq_subscribers.ref_count from atomic_t to refcount_t

From: Elena Reshetova
Date: Tue Feb 21 2017 - 10:28:06 EST


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.
