staging: lustre: prevent assert on LNet module unload
There is a use case where lnet can be unloaded while there are no NIs configured. Removing lnet in this case will cause LNetFini() to be called without a prior call to LNetNIFini(). This will cause the LASSERT(the_lnet.ln_refcount == 0) to be triggered. To deal with this use case when LNet is configured a reference count on the module is taken using try_module_get(). This way LNet must be unconfigured before it could be removed; therefore avoiding the above case. When LNet is unconfigured module_put() is called to return the reference count.
