[PATCH 04/11] drivers/base/devcoredump: convert devcd_count to counter_atomic32

[Shuah Khan <skhan@linuxfoundation.org>]

counter_atomic* is introduced to be used when a variable is used as
a simple counter and doesn't guard object lifetimes. This clearly
differentiates atomic_t usages that guard object lifetimes.

counter_atomic* variables will wrap around to 0 when it overflows and
should not be used to guard resource lifetimes, device usage and
open counts that control state changes, and pm states.

devcd_count is used to track dev_coredumpm device count and used in
device name string. It doesn't guard object lifetimes, device usage
counts, device open counts, and pm states. There is very little chance
of this counter overflowing. Convert it to use counter_atomic32.

This conversion doesn't change the overflow wrap around behavior.
