Yes, atomic could make refcnt itself safe. But mutex lock is to make whole processing of
reading/writing registers safe.
Consider case like this:
channel #1 channel #2
-------------------------------------
startup
.....
shutdown startup
|-refcnt==0 |
| |-retcnt+1
| |-enable mailbox
|-disable mailbox
Mailbox will be wrongly disabled after client requests channel #2's startup.

Right, will remove at next version.
Thanks for reviewing!
