[PATCH 5.4 188/191] hsr: avoid debugfs warning message when module is remove

[ Upstream commit 84bb59d773853bc2dda2ac1ef8474c40eb33a3c6 ]

When hsr module is being removed, debugfs_remove() is called to remove
both debugfs directory and file.

When module is being removed, module state is changed to
MODULE_STATE_GOING then exit() is called.
At this moment, module couldn't be held so try_module_get()
will be failed.

debugfs's open() callback tries to hold the module if .owner is existing.
If it fails, warning message is printed.

CPU0 CPU1
delete_module()
try_stop_module()
hsr_exit() open() <-- WARNING
debugfs_remove()

In order to avoid the warning message, this patch makes hsr module does
not set .owner. Unsetting .owner is safe because these are protected by
inode_lock().

Test commands:
#SHELL1
ip link add dummy0 type dummy
ip link add dummy1 type dummy
while :
do
ip link add hsr0 type hsr slave1 dummy0 slave2 dummy1
modprobe -rv hsr
done

#SHELL2
while :
do
cat /sys/kernel/debug/hsr0/node_table
done

Splat looks like:
