Subject: [PATCH v2 net-next] ipv4: convert dst_metrics.refcnt from atomic_t
 to refcount_t

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com>

refcount_t type and corresponding API should be
used instead of atomic_t when the variable is used as
a reference counter. This allows to avoid accidental
refcounter overflows that might lead to use-after-free
situations.
