Can we make it an atomic_t, so we can avoid taking the lock when the
GEM has already been pinned. That's something I need to be able to grab
a pin-ref in a path where the GEM resv lock is already held[1]. We could
of course expose the locked version, but in my case, I want to enforce
the fact the GEM has been pinned before the drm_gem_shmem_pin() call in
the section protected by the resv lock, so catching a "refcount 0 -> 1"
situation would be useful. Beside, using an atomic to avoid the
lock/unlock dance when refcount > 1 might be beneficial to everyone.
