[PATCH] __module_get

[Rusty Russell]

Re-xmit.  Linus, please apply.  Replaces ugly opencoding in
filesystems.c (mount refcounting is wrong IMHO, but it's easier than
arguing with Viro about it).

Name: __module_get
Author: Rusty Russell
Status: Trivial

D: Introduces __module_get for places where we know we already hold
D: a reference and ignoring the fact that the module is being "rmmod --wait"ed
D: is simpler.
