While reviewing Protection Key Supervisor support it was pointed out that
using a counter to track static branch enable was an anti-pattern which
was better solved using the provided static_branch_{inc,dec} functions.[1]
Fix up devmap_managed_key to work the same way. Also this should be safer
because there is a very small (very unlikely) race when multiple callers
try to enable at the same time.

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.
