[PATCH] drivers/perf: Fix kernel panic when rmmod PMU modules during perf sampling

[Qi Liu]

When users try to remove PMU modules during perf sampling, kernel panic
will happen because the pmu->read() is a NULL pointer here.

To solve the above issue, current module should be registered to kernel,
so that try_module_get() can be invoked when perf sampling starts. This
adds the reference counting of module and could prevent users from removing
modules during sampling.

Kernel panic will also happen when users try to unbind PMU drivers with
device. This unbind issue could be solved by another patch latter.
