IMA: drop refcnt from ima_iint_cache since it isn't needed

Since finding a struct ima_iint_cache requires a valid struct inode, and
the struct ima_iint_cache is supposed to have the same lifetime as a
struct inode (technically they die together but don't need to be created
at the same time) we don't have to worry about the ima_iint_cache
outliving or dieing before the inode.  So the refcnt isn't useful.  Just
get rid of it and free the structure when the inode is freed.
