2025-09-15rust: block: convert `block::mq` to use `Refcount`Gary Guo
Currently there's a custom reference counting in `block::mq`, which uses `AtomicU64` Rust atomics, and this type doesn't exist on some 32-bit architectures. We cannot just change it to use 32-bit atomics, because doing so will make it vulnerable to refcount overflow. So switch it to use the kernel refcount `kernel::sync::Refcount` instead. There is an operation needed by `block::mq`, atomically decreasing refcount from 2 to 0, which is not available through refcount.h, so I exposed `Refcount::as_atomic` which allows accessing the refcount directly.

2025-09-15rust: implement `kernel::sync::Refcount`Gary Guo
This is a wrapping layer of `include/linux/refcount.h`. Currently the kernel refcount has already been used in `Arc`, however it calls into FFI directly.
