coresight: Remove atomic type from refcnt

Refcnt is only ever accessed from either inside the coresight_mutex, or
the device's spinlock, making the atomic type and atomic_dec_return()
calls confusing and unnecessary. The only point of synchronisation
outside of these two types of locks is already done with a compare and
swap on 'mode', which a comment has been added for.

There was one instance of refcnt being used outside of a lock in TPIU,
but that can easily be fixed by making it the same as all the other
devices and adding a spinlock. Potentially in the future all the
refcounting and locking can be moved up into the core code, and all the
mostly duplicate code from the individual devices can be removed.
