[PATCH 5/7] net, netfilter: convert nf_conntrack_expect.use from atomic_t to refcount_t

[Elena Reshetova]

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.
