net/sched: wrap open coded Qdics class filter counter

The 'filter_cnt' counter is used to control a Qdisc class lifetime.
Each filter referecing this class by its id will eventually
increment/decrement this counter in their respective
'add/update/delete' routines.
As these operations are always serialized under rtnl lock, we don't
need an atomic type like 'refcount_t'.

It also means that we lose the overflow/underflow checks already
present in refcount_t, which are valuable to hunt down bugs
where the unsigned counter wraps around as it aids automated tools
like syzkaller to scream in such situations.

Wrap the open coded increment/decrement into helper functions and
add overflow checks to the operations.
