In order to parallelize more operations for the TDP MMU, make the
refcount on TDP MMU roots atomic, so that a future patch can allow
multiple threads to take a reference on the root concurrently, while
holding the MMU lock in read mode.

I'm not opposed to changing this logic while making the refcount atomic, but it
needs to be explained in the changelog.  As is, the changelog makes it sound
like the patch is a pure refactoring of the type.

Thanks for pointing that out. I'll add a note in the description in
v2. Those felt like natural changes since the introduction of the
atomic requires additional failure handling. I don't think there's any
way to add it as a separate commit without just introducing dead code,
but that would certainly be preferable.
