symbol_get() and try_module_get()

[Timur Tabi <timur.tabi@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a two drivers, X and Y.  X needs to access a structure in Y.  Y 
uses EXPORT_SYMBOL on the structure, and X uses symbol_get() to obtain 
the address of that structure.  Does X also need to call 
try_module_get()?  I don't think so, because symbol_get() already calls 
try_module_get(), but in a google search, I came across several 
different web pages that says that I do need to call try_module_get().
