Remove "unsafe" from module struct

Adrian Bunk points out that "unsafe" was used to mark modules touched by
the deprecated MOD_INC_USE_COUNT interface, which has long gone.  It's time
to remove the member from the module structure, as well.

If you want a module which can't unload, don't register an exit function.

(Vlad Yasevich says SCTP is now safe to unload, so just remove the
__unsafe there).
