Set .owner for all KVM-owned filed types so that the KVM module is pinned until any files with callbacks back into KVM are completely freed. Using "struct kvm" as a proxy for the module, i.e. keeping KVM-the-module alive while there are active VMs, doesn't provide full protection. Userspace can invoke delete_module() the instant the last reference to KVM is put. If KVM itself puts the last reference, e.g. via kvm_destroy_vm(), then it's possible for KVM to be preempted and deleted/unloaded before KVM fully exits, e.g. when the task running kvm_destroy_vm() is scheduled back in, it will jump to a code page that is no longer mapped. Note, file types that can call into sub-module code, e.g. kvm-intel.ko or kvm-amd.ko on x86, must use the module pointer passed to kvm_init(), not THIS_MODULE (which points at kvm.ko). KVM assumes that if /dev/kvm is reachable, e.g. VMs are active, then the vendor module is loaded. To reduce the probability of forgetting to set .owner entirely, use THIS_MODULE for stats files where KVM does not call back into vendor code. This reverts commit 70375c2d, and fixes several other file types that have been buggy since their introduction.
