locking/refcount: Define constants for saturation and max refcount values
The REFCOUNT_FULL implementation uses a different saturation point than the x86 implementation, which means that the shared refcount code in lib/refcount.c (e.g. refcount_dec_not_one()) needs to be aware of the difference. Rather than duplicate the definitions from the lkdtm driver, instead move them into <linux/refcount.h> and update all references accordingly.
