Paul Durrant 196748a276 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.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
