staging: lustre: obd_mount: fix possible race with module unload.
lustre_fill_super() calls client_fill_super() without holding a reference to the module containing client_fill_super. If that module is unloaded at a bad time, this can crash. To be able to get a reference to the module using try_get_module(), we need a pointer to the module. So replace lustre_register_client_fill_super() and lustre_register_kill_super_cb() with a single lustre_register_super_ops() which also passed a module pointer. Then use a spinlock to ensure the module pointer isn't removed while try_module_get() is running, and use try_module_get() to ensure we have a reference before calling client_fill_super().
