Subject: [PATCH] drm/nouveau/imem/nv50: fix incorrect use of refcount API

Commit be55287aa5b ("drm/nouveau/imem/nv50: embed nvkm_instobj directly
into nv04_instobj") introduced some new calls to the refcount api to
the nv50 mapping code. In one particular instance, it does the
following:

    if (!refcount_inc_not_zero(&iobj->maps)) {
            ...
            refcount_inc(&iobj->maps);
    }

i.e., it calls refcount_inc() to increment the refcount when it is known
to be zero, which is explicitly forbidden by the API. Instead, use
refcount_set() to set it to 1.

Apologies if this was already found and fixed. I don't usually follow
the DRM or nouveau mailing lists.
