Subject: [PATCH] Revert "mm: rename _count, field of the struct page, to _refcount"

_count -> _refcount rename in commit 0139aa7b7fa12 ("mm: rename _count,
field of the struct page, to _refcount") broke kdump. makedumpfile(8) does
stuff like READ_MEMBER_OFFSET("page._count", page._count) and fails. While
it is definitely possible to fix this particular tool I'm not sure about
other tools which might be doing the same.

I suggest we remember the "we don't break userspace" rule and revert for
4.7 while it's not too late.

This is a partial revert, useful hunks in drivers which do
page_ref_{sub,add,inc} instead of open coded atomic_* operations stay.
