[PATCH 08/15] kernel: convert ring_buffer.aux_refcount from atomic_t to refcount_t

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. Suggested-by: Kees Cook Reviewed-by: David Windsor
