Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] convert i915_active.count from atomic_t to refcount_t

Transition the reference count member variable count of struct i915_active from
atomic_t type to refcount_t type. This proposal is based on issues identified
using the atomic_as_refcounter.cocci Coccinelle semantic patch script.

Patch 1/2: proposes to convert the base implementation of variable count from
	   atomic_t to refcount_t. This also includes the transition of
	   atomic_*() API calls to their equivalent refcount_*() API calls.

Patch 2/2: proposes to transition the atomic_*() API calls in i915 selftest
	   use cases to their equivalent refcount_*() API calls.

Please Note:
   1. Patch 1/2 should be applied before patch 2/2 due to interdependency.
   2. I did not enable to the selftest and debug configurations earlier while
      building the i915 base driver. With the build failures reported by the
      Kernel Test Robot, I have now included those changes. I did not find any
      other configurations that required additional atomic_* API call transition
      for this member variable of struct i915_active. Please let me know if there
      are other related disabled configurations that I should be enable for
      additional code coverage.
   3. Any guidance on working with i915/selftests would be very helpful for my
      learning.

Changes in v2:
   1. Patch series introduced.
   2. Handle build issues Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@...el.com>
      Earlier a standalone patch was sent for the i915 base driver only. The
      Kernel Test Robot reported failure for additional atomic_*() calls specific
      to i915 debugging support when enabled. This version now includes those
      changes as well.
   3. Handle build issues Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@...el.com> for i915/selftests
      Include changes for i915/selftests use cases for atomic_* to refcount_*
      transition.
