[PATCH 5/7] x86/mce: Convert threshold_bank.cpus from atomic_t to refcount_t

[Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de>]

From: Elena Reshetova <elena.reshetova@intel.com>

The refcount_t type and corresponding API should be used instead
of atomic_t when the variable is used as a reference counter. This
allows to avoid accidental refcounter overflows that might lead to
use-after-free situations.
