    NFSD: Remove svc_serv_ops::svo_module
    
    [ Upstream commit f49169c97fceb21ad6a0aaf671c50b0f520f15a5 ]
    
    struct svc_serv_ops is about to be removed.
    
    Neil Brown says:

    > ever the thing that primarily keeps a module active.
    
    A random sample of kthread_create() callers shows sunrpc is the only
    one that manages module reference count in this way.
