wimax i2400m: fix race condition while accessing rx_roq by using kref count

Browse Source 
This patch fixes the race condition when one thread tries to destroy
the memory allocated for rx_roq, while another thread still happen
to access rx_roq.
Such a race condition occurs when i2400m-sdio kernel module gets
unloaded, destroying the memory allocated for rx_roq while rx_roq
is accessed by i2400m_rx_edata(), as explained below:
$thread1                                $thread2
$ void i2400m_rx_edata()                $
$Access rx_roq[]                        $
$roq = &i2400m->rx_roq[ro_cin]          $
$ i2400m_roq_[reset/queue/update_ws]    $
$                                       $ void i2400m_rx_release();
$                                       $kfree(rx->roq);
$                                       $rx->roq = NULL;
$Oops! rx_roq is NULL

This patch fixes the race condition using refcount approach.
