[PATCH v2 1/5] nvme/host: reference the fabric module for each bdev open callout

From: Sagi Grimberg <sagig at mellanox.com>

We don't want to be able to unload the fabric driver when we have
openened referenced to our namespaces. Thus, for each nvme_open we
take a reference on the fabric driver and put it in nvme_release.
This behavior is consistent with the scsi model.

This resolves the panic when unloading a fabric module with
mpath holders.
