Subject: [PATCH 2/2] ixgbe: Use refcount_t for refcount

refcount_t is better for reference counters since its
implementation can prevent overflows.
So convert atomic_t ref counters to refcount_t.

Also convert refcount from 0-based to 1-based.

This patch depends on PATCH 1/2.

Same point as in the cxgb4 driver patch: how can you just change the
initial value without modifying the condition for release?

This is not a suggestion to resubmit all these changes again with a
change to the release condition.

To reiterate, this patchset should not be applied as is. It is not
correct to simply change the initial refcount.

So I am pretty sure this patch is badly broken. It doesn't make any
sense to be resetting with the refcnt in
ixgbe_setup_fcoe_ddp_resources. The value is initialized to zero when
the adapter structure was allocated.

Consider this a NAK from me.
