The reference counting on dm-mod is zero if no mapped devices are open. This
is incorrect, and can lead to an oops if the module is unloaded while mapped
devices exist.
This patch claims a reference to the module whenever a device is created, and
drops it again when the device is freed.
Devices must be removed before dm-mod is unloaded.
[akpm: too late for 2.6.17 - suitable for 2.6.17.x after it has settled]
