In the passthru controller enable path current code doesn't take the
reference to the passthru ctrl module. Which produces following Oops :-

Entering kdb (current=0xffff8887f8290000, pid 3128) on processor 30 Oops: (null)

We fix that by taking a module ref count in nvme_dev_open() and release
that ref count in nvme_dev_release() atomically with ctrl get/put
respectively.
