crypto: algapi - convert cra_refcnt to refcount_t
Reference counters should use refcount_t rather than atomic_t, since the refcount_t implementation can prevent overflows, reducing the exploitability of reference leak bugs. crypto_alg.cra_refcount is a reference counter with the usual semantics, so switch it over to refcount_t.
