netfilter: conntrack: convert to refcount_t api
Convert nf_conn reference counting from atomic_t to refcount_t based api. refcount_t api provides more runtime sanity checks and will warn on certain constructs, e.g. refcount_inc() on a zero reference count, which usually indicates use-after-free. For this reason template allocation is changed to init the refcount to 1, the subsequenct add operations are removed. Likewise, init_conntrack() is changed to set the initial refcount to 1 instead refcount_inc(). This is safe because the new entry is not (yet) visible to other cpus.
