Chaitanya Kulkarni 52a3974feb nvme-core: get/put ctrl and transport module in nvme_dev_open/release()
Get and put the reference to the ctrl in the nvme_dev_open() and
nvme_dev_release() before and after module get/put for ctrl in char
device file operations.

Introduce char_dev relase function, get/put the controller and module
which allows us to fix the potential Oops which can be easily reproduced
with a passthru ctrl (although the problem also exists with pure user
access):

With this patch fix we take the module ref count in nvme_dev_open() and
release that ref count in newly introduced nvme_dev_release().

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
