[PATCH] dma-buf/fence: Take refcount on the module that owns the fence

[Akhil P Oommen]

Each fence object holds function pointers of the module that initialized
it. Allowing the module to unload before this fence's release is
catastrophic. So, keep a refcount on the module until the fence is
released.
