Linus Torvalds 18eac1cc10 tty-ldisc: make refcount be atomic_t 'users' count
This is pure preparation of changing the ldisc reference counting to be
a true refcount that defines the lifetime of the ldisc.  But this is a
purely syntactic change for now to make the next steps easier.

This patch should make no semantic changes at all. But I wanted to make
the ldisc refcount be an atomic (I will be touching it without locks
soon enough), and I wanted to rename it so that there isn't quite as
much confusion between 'ldo->refcount' (ldisk operations refcount) and
'ld->refcount' (ldisc refcount itself) in the same file.

So it's now an atomic 'ld->users' count. It still starts at zero,
despite having a reference from 'tty->ldisc', but that will change once
we turn it into a _real_ refcount.
