refcount_t type and corresponding API should be

The subject is wrong, should be something like "scsi: libfc convert
fc_fcp_pkt.ref_cnt from atomic_t to refcount_t" but not s390.

Other than that

Turns out that it is better that all these patches go through the respective 
maintainer trees, if present.
If I send an updated patch (with subject fixed), could you merge it through 
your tree?

Yes, but this would be the normal scsi tree from Martin and James.

Please include my Ack in the re-sends.

Thanks a lot,
        Johannes
