upstream commit: aea9058801c0acfa2831af1714da412dfb0018c2
Fix refcount corruption in dm-path-selector
Refcounting with non-atomic ops under shared lock will corrupt the counter
in multi-processor system and may trigger BUG_ON().
Use module refcount.
# same approach as dm-target-use-module-refcount-directly.patch here
# https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2008-December/msg00075.html
