cred: switch to using atomic_long_t
There are multiple ways to grab references to credentials, and the only protection we have against overflowing it is the memory required to do so. With memory sizes only moving in one direction, let's bump the reference count to 64-bit and move it outside the realm of feasibly overflowing.
