Jeff Mahoney 10da4f795f [PATCH] dm: add module ref counting
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]
