security, keys: convert key_user.usage from atomic_t to refcount_t

ereshetova · James Morris · commit ddb99e118e37 · 2017-04-03T10:49:06.000+10:00
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.
