Subject: [PATCH 7/7] fs, xfs: convert xfs_rui_log_item.rui_refcount from atomic_t to refcount_t

refcount_t type and corresponding API should be
used instead of atomic_t when the variable is used as
a reference counter. This allows to avoid accidental
refcounter overflows that might lead to use-after-free
situations.
