[PATCH] fix module sysfs files reference counting
The module files, refcnt, version, and srcversion did not properly
increment the owner's module reference count, allowing the modules to
be removed while the files were open, causing oopses.
This patch fixes this, and also fixes the problem that the version and
srcversion files were not showing up, unless CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD was
enabled, which is not correct.
