scsi: always increment reference count

James reported:
> After e513cc1c module: Remove stop_machine from module unloading,
> module_refcount() is returning (unsigned long)-1 when called from within
> a routine that runs in module_exit.  This is confusing the scsi device
> put code which is coded to detect a module_refcount() of zero for
> running within a module exit routine and not try to do another

> routine.

The correct fix is to turn try_module_get() into __module_get(), and
always do the module_put().
