The reason I left it like this is b/c otherwise I think there is a race
with module unload and taking a refcnt. For example:

ptr = READ_ONCE(global_var)
                                             <module unload on other cpu>
// ptr invalid
try_module_get(ptr->owner) 

I think the the synchronize_rcu() call in
kernel/module/main.c:free_module() protects against that race based on
my reading.

Maybe the ->enable() path can store a copy of the hook ptr in
struct bpf_nf_link to get rid of the odd rcu_dereference()?

Open to other ideas too -- would appreciate any hints.

Thanks,
Daniel
