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 creation 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.
