Subject: [PATCH] refcount: Annotated intentional signed integer wrap-around

Mark the various refcount_t functions with __signed_wrap, as we depend
on the wrapping behavior to detect the overflow and perform saturation.
Silences warnings seen with the LKDTM REFCOUNT_* tests:

  UBSAN: signed-integer-overflow in ../include/linux/refcount.h:189:11
  2147483647 + 1 cannot be represented in type 'int'
