Neil Horman 3e3d0e9246 PCI hotplug: ibmphp: Fix module ref count underflow 
I happened to notice that the ibmphp hotplug driver does something
rather silly in its init routine.  It purposely calls module_put so as
to underflow its module ref count to avoid being removed from the
kernel.  This is bad practice, and wrong, since it provides a window for
subsequent module_gets to reset the refcount to zero, allowing an unload
to race in and cause all sorts of mysterious panics.  If the module is
unsafe to load, simply omitting the module_exit parameter is sufficient
to prevent the kernel from allowing the unload.
