audit,io_uring: io_uring openat triggers audit reference count underflow

An io_uring openat operation can update an audit reference count
from multiple threads resulting in the call trace below.

A call to io_uring_submit() with a single openat op with a flag of
IOSQE_ASYNC results in the following reference count updates.

These first part of the system call performs two increments that do not race.

do_syscall_64()
  __do_sys_io_uring_enter()
    io_submit_sqes()
      io_openat_prep()
        __io_openat_prep()
          getname()
            getname_flags()       /* update 1 (increment) */
              __audit_getname()   /* update 2 (increment) */

The openat op is queued to an io_uring worker thread which starts the
opportunity for a race.  The system call exit performs one decrement.

do_syscall_64()
  syscall_exit_to_user_mode()
    syscall_exit_to_user_mode_prepare()
      __audit_syscall_exit()
        audit_reset_context()
           putname()              /* update 3 (decrement) */

The io_uring worker thread performs one increment and two decrements.
These updates can race with the system call decrement.

io_wqe_worker()
  io_worker_handle_work()
    io_wq_submit_work()
      io_issue_sqe()
        io_openat()
          io_openat2()
            do_filp_open()
              path_openat()
                __audit_inode()   /* update 4 (increment) */
            putname()             /* update 5 (decrement) */
        __audit_uring_exit()
          audit_reset_context()
            putname()             /* update 6 (decrement) */

The fix is to change the refcnt member of struct audit_names
from int to atomic_t.
