EROFS may encounter above panic when enabling file-backed mount w/
directio mount option, the root cause is it may suffer UAF in below
race condition:

- z_erofs_read_folio                          wq s_dio_done_wq
 - z_erofs_runqueue
  - erofs_fileio_submit_bio
   - erofs_fileio_rq_submit
    - vfs_iocb_iter_read
     - ext4_file_read_iter
      - ext4_dio_read_iter
       - iomap_dio_rw
       : bio was submitted and return -EIOCBQUEUED
                                              - dio_aio_complete_work
                                               - dio_complete
                                                - dio->iocb->ki_complete (erofs_fileio_ki_complete())
                                                 - kfree(rq)
                                                 : it frees iocb, iocb.ki_filp can be UAF in file_accessed().
       - file_accessed
       : access NULL file point

Introduce a reference count in struct erofs_fileio_rq, and initialize it
as two, both erofs_fileio_ki_complete() and erofs_fileio_rq_submit() will
decrease reference count, the last one decreasing the reference count
to zero will free rq.
