Subject: [PATCH] mm: Convert mem_cgroup_id::ref to refcount_t type

This will allow to use generic refcount_t interfaces
to check counters overflow instead of currently existing
VM_BUG_ON(). The only difference after the patch is
VM_BUG_ON() may cause BUG(), while refcount_t fires
with WARN(). But this seems not to be significant here,
since such the problems are usually caught by syzbot
with panic-on-warn enabled.
