io_uring: switch to atomic_t for io_kiocb reference count
io_uring manipulates references twice for each request, and hence is very
sensitive to performance of the reference count. This commit borrows a
trick from:

mm: make page ref count overflow check tighter and more explicit
and switches to atomic_t for references, while still retaining overflow
and underflow checks.
This is good for a 2-3% increase in peak IOPS on a single core. Before:
IOPS=2970879, IOS/call=31/31, inflight=128 (128)
IOPS=2952597, IOS/call=31/31, inflight=128 (128)
IOPS=2943904, IOS/call=31/31, inflight=128 (128)
IOPS=2930006, IOS/call=31/31, inflight=96 (96)
and after:
IOPS=3054354, IOS/call=31/31, inflight=128 (128)
IOPS=3059038, IOS/call=31/31, inflight=128 (128)
IOPS=3060320, IOS/call=31/31, inflight=128 (128)
IOPS=3068256, IOS/call=31/31, inflight=96 (96)
