[GIT PULL] vfs fixes

[Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org>]

Hey Linus,

/* Summary */
An openat() call from io_uring triggering an audit call can apparently
cause the refcount of struct filename to be incremented from multiple
threads concurrently during async execution, triggering a refcount
underflow and hitting a BUG_ON(). That bug has been lurking around since
at least v5.16 apparently.

Switch to an atomic counter to fix that. The underflow check is
downgraded from a BUG_ON() to a WARN_ON_ONCE() but we could easily
remove that check altogether tbh and not waste an additional atomic. So
if you feel that extra check isn't needed you could just remove in case
you're pulling.

/* Testing */
clang: Ubuntu clang version 15.0.7
gcc: (Ubuntu 12.2.0-3ubuntu1) 12.2.0

All patches are based on v6.6-rc6 and have been sitting in linux-next.
No build failures or warnings were observed.

/* Conflicts */
At the time of creating this PR no merge conflicts were reported from
linux-next and no merge conflicts showed up doing a test-merge with
current mainline.
