Subject: [PATCH] tracing: Use refcount for trace_event_file reference
 counter

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@...dmis.org>

Instead of using an atomic counter for the trace_event_file reference
counter, use the refcount interface. It has various checks to make sure
the reference counting is correct, and will warn if it detects an error
(like refcount_inc() on '0').
