[PATCH 4.15-rc 3/3] nvme-fabrics: Protect against module unload during create_ctrl

From: Roy Shterman <roys at lightbitslabs.com>

nvme transport driver module unload may (and usually does) trigger iteration
over the active controllers and delete them all (sometimes under a mutex).
However, a controller can be created concurrently with module unload
which can lead to leakage of resources (most important char device node
leakage) in case the controller create occured after the unload delete and drain
sequence. To protect against this, we take a module reference to guarantee that
the nvme transport driver is not unloaded while creating a controller.
