ieee1394: raw1394: prevent unloading of low-level driver
Unloading the low-level driver module of a FireWire host can lead to
all sorts of trouble if a raw1394 userspace client is using the host.
Just disallow it by incrementing the LLD's module reference count on
a RAW1394_REQ_SET_CARD write operation. Decrement it when the file
is closed.
This feature wouldn't be relevant if "modprobe -r video1394" or
"modprobe -r dv1394" didn't automatically unload ohci1394 too.
