From: Guangming Cao <Guangming.Cao at mediatek.com>

Add a refcount for kernel to prevent UAF(Use After Free) issue.

We can assume a case like below:
    1. kernel space alloc dma_buf(file count = 1)
    2. kernel use dma_buf to get fd(file count = 1)
    3. userspace use fd to do mapping (file count = 2)
    4. kernel call dma_buf_put (file count = 1)
    5. userpsace close buffer fd(file count = 0)
    6. at this time, buffer is released, but va is valid!!
       So we still can read/write buffer via mmap va,
       it maybe cause memory leak, or kernel exception.
       And also, if we use "ls -ll" to watch corresponding process
           fd link info, it also will cause kernel exception.

Another case:
     Using dma_buf_fd to generate more than 1 fd, because
     dma_buf_fd will not increase file count, thus, when close
     the second fd, it maybe occurs error.

Solution:
    Add a kernel count for dma_buf, and make sure the file count
        of dma_buf.file hold by kernel is 1.

Notes: For this solution, kref couldn't work because kernel ref
       maybe added from 0, but kref don't allow it.
