dm thin: use refcount_t for thin_c reference counting

The API surrounding refcount_t should be used in place of atomic_t
when variables are being used as reference counters.  It can
potentially prevent reference counter overflows and use-after-free
conditions.  In the dm thin layer, one such example is tc->refcount.
Change this from the atomic_t API to the refcount_t API to prevent
mentioned conditions.
