[PATCH 16/17] net: convert netlbl_lsm_cache.refcount from atomic_t to refcount_t

From: Elena Reshetova
Date: Fri Jun 30 2017 - 06:10:18 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.
