Yevgeny Kliteynik 4ce380ca47 net/mlx5: DR, No need for atomic refcount for internal SW steering resources
No need for an atomic refcounter for the STE and hashtables.
These are internal SW steering resources and they are always
under domain mutex.

This also fixes the following refcount error:
  refcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free.
  WARNING: CPU: 9 PID: 3527 at lib/refcount.c:25 refcount_warn_saturate+0x81/0xe0

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
