KVM: set owner of cpu and vm file operations

There is a race between a "close of the file descriptors" and module
unload in the kvm module.

You can easily trigger this problem by applying this debug patch:

and killing the userspace, followed by an rmmod.

The problem is that kvm_destroy_vm can run while the module count
is 0. That means, you can remove the module while kvm_destroy_vm
is running. But kvm_destroy_vm is part of the module text. This
causes a kerneloops. The race exists without the msleep but is much
harder to trigger.

This patch requires the fix for anon_inodes (anon_inodes: use fops->owner
for module refcount).
With this patch, we can set the owner of all anonymous KVM inodes file
operations. The VFS will then control the KVM module refcount as long as there
is an open file. kvm_destroy_vm will be called by the release function of the
last closed file - before the VFS drops the module refcount.
