changes in v2: Not needed WARNs are removed since refcount_t warns by itself. BUG_ONs are left as it is, since refcount_t doesn't bug by default.
This series, for block subsystem, replaces atomic_t reference counters with the new refcount_t type and API (see include/linux/refcount.h). By doing this we prevent intentional or accidental underflows or overflows that can lead to use-after-free vulnerabilities.
