  Mark the various refcount_t functions with __signed_wrap, as we depend
on the wrapping behavior to detect the overflow and perform saturation.
Silences warnings seen with the LKDTM REFCOUNT_* tests:

  UBSAN: signed-integer-overflow in ../include/linux/refcount.h:189:11
  2147483647 + 1 cannot be represented in type 'int'

Not sure why I am the "To:" (i.e. even if it is a change involving
only an addition of an attribute), but it looks good to me (UBSan is
triggering on the few `old + i`s caused by the calls from
`drivers/misc/lkdtm/refcount.c`, right?):

As usual, thanks Kees for keeping up on getting the kernel (un)signed
UBSan-clean :)

Cheers,
Miguel
