an atomic_t simple refcnt. This is for code simplification.

The first is a long standing bug that causes bogus data to show up
in the refcnt field of the module_refcnt tracepoint. It was
introduced by a merge conflict resolution back in 2.6.35-rc days.
The result should be refcnt = incs - decs, but instead it did
refcnt = incs + decs.
The second fix is to a bug that was introduced in this merge window
that allowed for a tracepoint funcs pointer to be used after it
was freed. Moving the location of where the probes are released
solved the problem.

* tag 'trace-fixes-v3.15-rc4-v2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace:
tracepoint: Fix use of tracepoint funcs after rcu free
trace: module: Maintain a valid user count
The replacement of the 'count' variable by two variables 'incs' and
'decs' to resolve some race conditions during module unloading was done
in parallel with some cleanup in the trace subsystem, and was integrated
as a merge.
Unfortunately, the formula for this replacement was wrong in the tracing
code, and the refcount in the traces was not usable as a result.
Use 'count = incs - decs' to compute the user count.

Users have reported being unable to trace non-signed modules loaded
within a kernel supporting module signature.
This is caused by tracepoint.c:tracepoint_module_coming() refusing to
take into account tracepoints sitting within force-loaded modules
(TAINT_FORCED_MODULE). The reason for this check, in the first place, is
that a force-loaded module may have a struct module incompatible with
the layout expected by the kernel, and can thus cause a kernel crash
upon forced load of that module on a kernel with CONFIG_TRACEPOINTS=y.
Tracepoints, however, specifically accept TAINT_OOT_MODULE and
TAINT_CRAP, since those modules do not lead to the "very likely system
crash" issue cited above for force-loaded modules.
With kernels having CONFIG_MODULE_SIG=y (signed modules), a non-signed
module is tainted re-using the TAINT_FORCED_MODULE taint flag.
Unfortunately, this means that Tracepoints treat that module as a
force-loaded module, and thus silently refuse to consider any tracepoint
within this module.
Since an unsigned module does not fit within the "very likely system
crash" category of tainting, add a new TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE taint flag
to specifically address this taint behavior, and accept those modules
within Tracepoints. We use the letter 'X' as a taint flag character for
a module being loaded that doesn't know how to sign its name (proposed
by Steven Rostedt).
Also add the missing 'O' entry to trace event show_module_flags() list
for the sake of completeness.

The <linux/module.h> pretty much brings in the kitchen sink along
with it, so it should be avoided wherever reasonably possible in
terms of being included from other commonly used <linux/something.h>
files, as it results in a measureable increase on compile times.
The worst culprit was probably device.h since it is used everywhere.
This file also had an implicit dependency/usage of mutex.h which was
masked by module.h, and is also fixed here at the same time.
There are over a dozen other headers that simply declare the
struct instead of pulling in the whole file, so follow their lead
and simply make it a few more.
Most of the implicit dependencies on module.h being present by
these headers pulling it in have been now weeded out, so we can
finally make this change with hopefully minimal breakage.

The commit:
9f987b3141f086de27832514aad9f50a53f754
tracing: Include module.h in define_trace.h
only solved half the problem. If the trace/events/module.h header is
included at the time of define_trace.h (or in ftrace.h within it),
the module.h TRACE_SYSTEM will override the current TRACE_SYSTEM
macro.
Since define_trace.h is included when CREATE_TRACE_POINTS is set,
and the first thing it does is to #undef CREATE_TRACE_POINTS,
by placing the module.h TRACE_SYSTEM inside a
#ifdef CREATE_TRACE_POINTS
we can prevent it from overriding the TRACE_SYSTEM that is
being processed, and still process the module.h tracepoints
when the module code defines CREATE_TRACE_POINTS and includes
the trace/events/module.h header.
As with commit 9f987b3141, this is only an issue if module.h
is not included before the trace/events/<event>.h file is
included, which (luckily) has not happened yet.

If modules are configured in the build but unloading of modules is not,
then the refcnt is not defined. Place the get/put module tracepoints
under CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD since it references this field in the module
structure.
As a side-effect, this patch also reduces the code when MODULE_UNLOAD
is not set, because these unused tracepoints are not created.

Remove the @refcnt argument, because it has side-effects, and arguments with
side-effects are not skipped by the jump over disabled instrumentation and are
executed even when the tracepoint is disabled.
This was also causing a GPF as found by Randy Dunlap:
Subject: 2.6.33 GP fault only when built with tracing
LKML-Reference: <4BA2B69D.3000309@oracle.com>
Note, the current 2.6.34-rc has a fix for the actual cause of the GPF,
but this fixes one of its triggers.
