Revert "mm/secretmem: use refcount_t instead of atomic_t"
This reverts commit 110860541f443f950c1274f217a1a3e298670a33. Converting the "secretmem_users" counter to a refcount is incorrect, because a refcount is special in zero and can't just be incremented (but a count of users is not, and "no users" is actually perfectly valid and not a sign of a free'd resource).

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
