Subject: [PATCH] Drivers: hv: fcopy: set .owner reference for file operations
Get an additional reference otherwise a crash is observed when hv_utils module is being unloaded while
fcopy daemon is still running. .owner gives us an additional reference when
someone holds a descriptor for the device.
