Use atomic_t for ucounts reference counting
The current implementation of the ucounts reference counter requires the use of spin_lock. We're going to use get_ucounts() in more performance critical areas like a handling of RLIMIT_SIGPENDING. Now we need to use spin_lock only if we want to change the hashtable. v10: * Always try to put ucounts in case we cannot increase ucounts->count. This will allow to cover the case when all consumers will return ucounts at once. v9: * Use a negative value to check that the ucounts->count is close to overflow.
