3.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Thomas Gleixner <t...@linutronix.de> commit ccf33d6880f39a35158fff66db13000ae4943fac upstream. We want to be able to remove clockevent modules as well. Add a refcount so we don't remove a module with an active clock event device.
