refcount_t type and corresponding API should be
used instead of atomic_t when the variable is used as
a reference counter. This allows to avoid accidental
refcounter overflows that might lead to use-after-free
situations.

<title>atm: add release_cb() callback to vcc</title>

The immediate use case for this is that it will allow us to ensure that a
pppoatm queue is woken after it has to drop a packet due to the sock being
locked.

Note that 'release_cb' is called when the socket is *unlocked*. This is
not to be confused with vcc_release() — which probably ought to be called
vcc_close().

<title>atm: add owner of push() callback to atmvcc</title>

The atm is using atmvcc-&gt;push(vcc, NULL) callback to notify protocol
that vcc will be closed and protocol must detach from it. This callback
is usually used by protocol to decrement module usage count by module_put(),
but it leaves small window then module is still used after module_put().

Now the owner of push() callback is kept in atmvcc and
module_put(atmvcc-&gt;owner) is called after the protocol is detached from vcc.

Pull &lt;linux/device.h&gt; avoidance patches from Paul Gortmaker:
 "Nearly every subsystem has some kind of header with a proto like:

	void foo(struct device *dev);

  and yet there is no reason for most of these guys to care about the
  sub fields within the device struct.  This allows us to significantly
  reduce the scope of headers including headers.  For this instance, a
  reduction of about 40% is achieved by replacing the include with the
  simple fact that the device is some kind of a struct.

  Unlike the much larger module.h cleanup, this one is simply two
  commits.  One to fix the implicit &lt;linux/device.h&gt; users, and then one
  to delete the device.h includes from the linux/include/ dir wherever
  possible."

* tag 'device-for-3.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux:
  device.h: audit and cleanup users in main include dir
  device.h: cleanup users outside of linux/include (C files)

The &lt;linux/device.h&gt; header includes a lot of stuff, and
it in turn gets a lot of use just for the basic "struct device"
which appears so often.

Clean up the users as follows:

1) For those headers only needing "struct device" as a pointer
in fcn args, replace the include with exactly that.

2) For headers not really using anything from device.h, simply
delete the include altogether.

3) For headers relying on getting device.h implicitly before
being included themselves, now explicitly include device.h

4) For files in which doing #1 or #2 uncovers an implicit
dependency on some other header, fix by explicitly adding
the required header(s).

Any C files that were implicitly relying on device.h to be
present have already been dealt with in advance.

Total removals from #1 and #2: 51.  Total additions coming
from #3: 9.  Total other implicit dependencies from #4: 7.

As of 3.3-rc1, there were 110, so a net removal of 42 gives
about a 38% reduction in device.h presence in include/*

If a header file is making use of BUG, BUG_ON, BUILD_BUG_ON, or any
other BUG variant in a static inline (i.e. not in a #define) then
that header really should be including &lt;linux/bug.h&gt; and not just
expecting it to be implicitly present.

We can make this change risk-free, since if the files using these
headers didn't have exposure to linux/bug.h already, they would have
been causing compile failures/warnings.
