net: convert (struct ubuf_info)->refcnt to refcount_t
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. v2: added the change in drivers/vhost/net.c as spotted by Willem.
