gigaset: call module_put before restart of if_open()

if_open() calls try_module_get(), and after an attempt to lock a mutex
the if_open() function may return -ERESTARTSYS without
putting the module.  Then, when if_open() is executed again,
try_module_get() is called making the reference counter of THIS_MODULE
greater than one at successful exit from if_open().  The if_close()
function puts the module only once, and as a result it can't be
unloaded.

This patch adds module_put call before the return from if_open().
