  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, convert the atomic_t count member variable and associated
atomic_*() API calls to equivalent refcount_t type and refcount_*() API
calls.

This patch proposal address the following warnings generated by
the atomic_as_refcounter.cocci coccinelle script
	atomic_add_unless

Please note:
   1. Proposed changes are compile tested only.
   2. This patch 1/2 is required to be applied before patch 2/2 due to
      interdependency.

Changes in v2:
   1. Patch added to the patch series.
   2. Handle build issues Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com>
      Earlier a standalone patch was sent for the i915 base driver only. The
      Kernel Test Robot reported build failure for additional atomic_*() calls
      specific to i915 debugging support when enabled. This version now includes
      those changes as well.

I'm not sure if this is correct here, I assume we should be adding instead here its decrementing ?
