There was a discussion about SET_MODULE_OWNER here on the list, once.
You can find it here:

I know about it and in fact Rusty is the one that told me
to do what I did with SET_MODULE_OWNER.

FACT: SET_MODULE_OWNER() tracks how to set the module reference
for a struct netdevice.

It always lived in netdevice.h and always served exactly this purpose.
So when I deleted ->owner from struct netdevice, SET_MODULE_OWNER
became a nop.

Therefore, it was a complete error for anyone else to start using this
macro for other structures.
