The endpoint objects may be started/stopped concurrently by different substreams in the case of implicit feedback mode, while the current code handles the reference counter without any protection. This patch changes the refcount to atomic_t for avoiding the inconsistency. We need no reference_t here as the refcount goes only up to 2. Also the name "use_count" is renamed to "running" since this is about actually the running status, not the open refcount.

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.
