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.
