drm/gem: handlecount isn't really a kref so don't make it one.
There were lots of places being inconsistent since handle count
looked like a kref but it really wasn't.
Fix this my just making handle count an atomic on the object,
and have it increase the normal object kref.
Now i915/radeon/nouveau drivers can drop the normal reference on
userspace object creation, and have the handle hold it.
This patch fixes a memory leak or corruption on unload, because
the driver had no way of knowing if a handle had been actually
added for this object, and the fbcon object needed to know this
to clean itself up properly.
