[PATCH 0/3] Use refcount_t for refcount

From: Chuhong Yuan

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.

First convert the refcount field to refcount_t in mlx5/driver.h.
Then convert the uses to refcount_() APIs.

Chuhong Yuan (3):
mlx5: Use refcount_t for refcount
net/mlx5: Use refcount_() APIs
IB/mlx5: Use refcount_() APIs
