Subject: [PATCH v3 1/2] xen/xenbus: reference count registered modules

To prevent a PV driver module being removed whilst attached to its other
end, and hence xenbus calling into potentially invalid text, take a
reference on the module before calling the probe() method (dropping it if
unsuccessful) and drop the reference after returning from the remove()
method.

v2:
- New in v2

v3:
- Use try_module_get() rather than __module)get() and handle failure
- Not added Juergen's R-b because of the change
