While accessing a scsi_device, the use count of the underlying LLDD
module is incremented.  The module reference is retrieved through
.module field of struct scsi_host_template.

This mapping between scsi_device and underlying LLDD module works well
except some drivers which consist with the core driver and the actual
LLDDs and scsi_host_template is defined in the core driver.  In these
cases, the actual LLDDs can be unloaded even if the scsi_device is
being accessed.

This patch series fixes the module reference mismatch problem for
ufs, usb-storage, esp_scsi, ahci_platform, and pata_platform drivers
by moving owner module reference field from struct scsi_host_template
to struct Scsi_Host and allowing the LLDDs to set their correct module
reference.

* v4:
- Patch series is almost rewritten as module reference field in
  struct scsi_host_template has been unused anymore.  So Acked-by: and
  Reviewed-by: tags that have been received are deleted.

* v3:
- Add fix for ESP SCSI drivers

* v2:
- Pass correct module reference to usb_stor_probe1() instead of touching
  all ums-* drivers, suggested by Alan Stern
