[PATCH 2/3] fs, fuse: convert fuse_req.count from atomic_t to refcount_t

From: Elena Reshetova
Date: Fri Mar 03 2017 - 04:07:35 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.
