Hi,

Failure with f_count reference counting are better contained by
an actual reference counting type, like refcount_t. The first step
is for get_file() to use inc_not_zero to avoid resurrection. I also
found a couple open-coded modifications of f_count that should be using
get_file(). Since long ago, f_count was switched to atomic_long_t, so to
get proper reference count checking, I've added a refcount_long_t API,
and then converted f_count to refcount_long_t.

Now if there are underflows (or somehow an overflow), we'll see them
reported.
