The current dsb API is not really prepared to handle multithread access.
I was debugging an issue that ended up fixed by commit a096883dda
("drm/i915/dsb: Remove PIN_MAPPABLE from the DSB object VMA") and was
puzzled how these atomic operations were guaranteeing atomicity.
if (atomic_add_return(1, &dsb->refcount) != 1)
return dsb;
Thread A could still be initializing dsb struct (and even fail in the
middle) while thread B would take a reference and use it (even
derefencing a NULL cmd_buf).
I don't think the atomic operations here will help much if this were
to support multithreaded scenario in future, so just remove them to
avoid confusion.
v2: Use refcount++ != 0 instead of ++refcount != 1 (from Ville)
