Subject: [PATCH 13/35] perf dso: Convert dso.refcnt from atomic_t to refcount_t

From: Elena Reshetova <elena.reshetova@...el.com>

The 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.
