Use an API that resembles more the actual use of num_channels.

Hmm, that commit log needs more detail.

"Convert from atomic_t to refcount_t because refcount_t has memory 
ordering guarantees which atomic does not, hence the WARNING for the 
free after the atomic dec."

Something like that.

I'll leave it up to yourself to decide if this warrants a Fixes:

I don't think so myself because the previous code doesn't seem to matter 
to the decrement and free.

The memory ordering rules are the same.  They're basically identical.
The difference is that if you decrement a refcount_t past zero it will
trigger an error and refuse but atomic_t will merrily keep decrementing
forever.  With refcount_t you can still have a use after free bug but
afterward the double free will trigger a warning.

There are time where people use atomic_t to get unique number and don't
care about wrapping so that's fine.  But if it's reference counting then
use refcount_t.

There wouldn't be a Fixes tag in this case, because hopefully it's just
hardenning and not a bugfix.
