Sebastian Andrzej Siewior e58dd0de5e bdi: use refcount_t for reference counting instead atomic_t
refcount_t type and corresponding API should be used instead of atomic_t
when the variable is used as a reference counter.  This permits avoiding
accidental refcounter overflows that might lead to use-after-free
situations.
