Drop irqbypass.ko's superfluous and misleading get/put calls on THIS_MODULE. A module taking a reference to itself is useless; no amount of checks will prevent doom and destruction if the caller hasn't already guaranteed the liveliness of the module (this goes for any module). E.g. if try_module_get() fails because irqbypass.ko is being unloaded, then the kernel has already hit a use-after-free by virtue of executing code whose lifecycle is tied to irqbypass.ko.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
