opp: Replace list_kref with a local counter
A kref or refcount isn't the right tool to be used here for counting number of devices that are sharing the static OPPs created for the OPP table. For example, we are reinitializing the kref again, after it reaches a value of 0 and frees the resources, if the static OPPs get added for the same OPP table structure (as the OPP table structure was never freed). That is messy and very unclear. This patch makes parsed_static_opps an unsigned integer and uses it to count the number of users of the static OPPs. The increment and decrement to parsed_static_opps is done under opp_table->lock now to make sure no races are possible if the OPP table is getting added and removed in parallel (which doesn't happen in practice, but can in theory).
