locking/refcount: Improve performance of generic REFCOUNT_FULL code

Rewrite the generic REFCOUNT_FULL implementation so that the saturation
point is moved to INT_MIN / 2. This allows us to defer the sanity checks
until after the atomic operation, which removes many uses of cmpxchg()
in favour of atomic_fetch_{add,sub}().

Some crude perf results obtained from lkdtm show substantially less
overhead, despite the checking:

 $ perf stat -r 3 -B -- echo {ATOMIC,REFCOUNT}_TIMING >/sys/kernel/debug/provoke-crash/DIRECT
