Per Liden 23b0ca5bf5 [PATCH] genetlink: don't touch module ref count
Increasing the module ref count at registration will block the module from
ever being unloaded. In fact, genetlink should not care about the owner at
all. This patch removes the owner field from the struct registered with
genetlink.
