Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] mm: rename _count, field of the struct page, to _refcount

From: Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo.kim@....com>

Many developer already know that field for reference count of
the struct page is _count and atomic type. They would try to handle it
directly and this could break the purpose of page reference count
tracepoint. To prevent direct _count modification, this patch rename it
to _refcount and add warning message on the code. After that, developer
who need to handle reference count will find that field should not be
accessed directly.

v2: change more _count usages to _refcount
