modules: use raw_cpu_write for initialization of per cpu refcount.
The initialization of a structure is not subject to synchronization. The use of __this_cpu would trigger a false positive with the additional preemption checks for __this_cpu ops. So simply disable the check through the use of raw_cpu ops.
