staging: lustre: obd_mount: fix possible race with module unload.



lustre_fill_super() calls client_fill_super() without holding a
reference to the module containing client_fill_super.  If that
module is unloaded at a bad time, this can crash.

To be able to get a reference to the module using
try_get_module(), we need a pointer to the module.

So replace
  lustre_register_client_fill_super() and
  lustre_register_kill_super_cb()
with a single
  lustre_register_super_ops()
which also passed a module pointer.

Then use a spinlock to ensure the module pointer isn't removed
while try_module_get() is running, and use try_module_get() to
ensure we have a reference before calling client_fill_super().
