    pstore: drop file opened reference count · 52d210d9

    In ee1d2674 ("pstore: add pstore unregister") I added:
    	.owner = THIS_MODULE,
    in both pstore_fs_type and pstore_file_operations to increase a reference
    count when pstore filesystem is mounted and pstore file is opened.
    
    But, it's repetitive. There is no need to increase the opened reference
    count. We only need to increase the mounted reference count. When a file
    is opened, the filesystem can't be unmounted. Hence the pstore module
    can't be unloaded either.
    
    So I drop the opened reference count in this patch.
