Modules registering driver with usb_serial_register_drivers() might forget to set .owner field. The field is used by some of other kernel parts for reference counting (try_module_get()), so it is expected that drivers will set it. Solve the problem by moving this task away from the drivers to the core USB serial code, just like we did for platform_driver in commit 9447057eaff8 ("platform_device: use a macro instead of platform_driver_register").
