[PATCH] remove useless MOD_{INC,DEC}_USE_COUNT from sunrpc

- both rpciod_up and rpciod_down do a gratious inc/dec of the
use count - but we can't ever be inside those function unless
it's called from an other module -> totally useless
- rpciod() (the ernel thread) also bumps the refcount when starting
and decrements it when exiting. but as a different module must
initiate this using rpciod_up/rpciod_down this is again not needed.
(except when a module does rpciod_up without a matching rpciod_down -
but that a big bug anyway and we don't need to partially handle that
using module refcounts).
