There is a use case where lnet can be unloaded while there are
no NIs configured. Removing lnet in this case will cause
LNetFini() to be called without a prior call to LNetNIFini().
This will cause the LASSERT(the_lnet.ln_refcount == 0) to be
triggered.
To deal with this use case when LNet is configured a reference
count on the module is taken using try_module_get(). This way
LNet must be unconfigured before it could be removed; therefore
avoiding the above case. When LNet is unconfigured module_put()
is called to return the reference count.
