Add a module_exit() to perform the necessary clean-up. Also add
__module_get() and module_put() calls into xen_blkif_alloc() and
xen_blkif_free() respectively to make sure an in-use module cannot be
unloaded.

I realize there are various example of this in the tree, but
isn't this a flawed approach? __module_get() (nor even
try_module_get()) will prevent an unload attempt ahead of it
getting invoked, while execution is already in this module's
.text section. I think the xenbus driver should do this
before calling ->probe(), in case of its failure, and after
a successful call to ->remove().

Good point. That does appear to be a race.

That does sound better. I'll see if I can pick up other occurrences (certainly netback) and fix.
