[PATCH v2] dma-buf/fence: Take refcount on the module that owns the fence

[Akhil P Oommen <akhilpo@codeaurora.org>]

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.

Signed-off-by: Akhil P Oommen <akhilpo@codeaurora.org>

Changes in v2:
- added description for the new function parameter.
