Rob Love 6409ea65b3 [SCSI] fcoe: Only rmmod fcoe.ko if there are no active connections
Currently we're gracefully tearing down each active connection
when fcoe.ko is removed. We shouldn't allow the user to destroy
connections by removing the module. We should force the user to
destroy each connection and then the module can be removed.

This patch makes it so a refrerence count on the module is taken
each time a fcoe_interface is created. The reference count
is dropped when the fcoe_interface is destroyed. This makes it
so that module_exit() doesn't get called unless all fcoe_interfaces
have been destroyed.

This patch leaves the removal of interfaces in the module_exit
routine so that if the user does a 'rmmod -f' we'll clean everything
up before removing the module.

The module_put line was put before the out_putdev goto line because
we should only be decrementing the reference count if a
fcoe_interface is actually destroyed. If we can't find the netdev
or the fcoe_interface then it's assumed that something else has
destroyed the fcoe_interface and it would have decremented the
reference count at that time.
