[v2] tty: serial: zs: convert atomic_* to refcount_* APIs for irq_guard
Commit Message
The refcount_* APIs are designed to address known issues with the
atomic_t APIs for reference counting. They provide following distinct
advantages:
- protect the reference counters from overflow/underflow
- avoid use-after-free errors
- provide improved memory ordering guarantee schemes
- neater and safer.
Hence, replace the atomic_* APIs by their equivalent refcount_t
API functions.
This patch proposal address the following warnings generated by
the atomic_as_refcounter.cocci coccinelle script
atomic_add_return(-1, ...)
Signed-off-by: Deepak R Varma <drv@mailo.com>

Changes in v2:
1. Separate the combined change into one variable per patch as
suggested by gregkh@linuxfoundation.org
2. There was additional feedback on validating the change as it appeared to
modify the existing logic. However, I found that the logic does not
change with the proposed refcount_* APIs used in this change. Hence that
feedback is not applied in this version.
Please Note:
The patch is compile tested using dec_station.defconfig for MIPS architecture.

This conversion is wrong :(
