Subject: [RFC PATCH resend 2/6] refcount: Move refcount_t definition into linux/types.h
Date:   Sat, 17 Oct 2020 01:09:11 +0200

I want to use refcount_t in mm_struct, but if refcount_t is defined in
linux/refcount.h, that header would have to be included in
linux/mm_types.h; that would be wasteful.

Let's move refcount_t over into linux/types.h so that includes can be
written less wastefully.
