[PATCH v2] tty: serial: zs: convert atomic_* to refcount_* APIs for irq_guard

[Deepak R Varma <drv@mailo.com>]

The refcount_* APIs are designed to address known issues with the
atomic_t APIs for reference counting. They provide following distinct
advantages:
   - protect the reference counters from overflow/underflow
   - avoid use-after-free errors
   - provide improved memory ordering guarantee schemes
   - neater and safer.
Hence, replace the atomic_* APIs by their equivalent refcount_t
API functions.

This patch proposal address the following warnings generated by
the atomic_as_refcounter.cocci coccinelle script
atomic_add_return(-1, ...)

Changes in v2:
   1. Separate the combined change into one variable per patch as
      suggested by gregkh@linuxfoundation.org
   2. There was additional feedback on validating the change as it appeared to
      modify the existing logic. However, I found that the logic does not
      change with the proposed refcount_* APIs used in this change. Hence that
      feedback is not applied in this version.

Please Note:
   The patch is compile tested using dec_station.defconfig for MIPS architecture.
