    perf/x86: Set pmu->module in Intel PMU modules · 74545f63

    The conversion of Intel PMU drivers into modules did not include reference
    counting. The machine will crash when attempting to  access deleted code
    if an event from a module PMU is started and the module removed before the
    event is destroyed.
    
    i.e. this crashes the machine:
    
    	$ insmod intel-rapl-perf.ko
    	$ perf stat -e power/energy-cores/ -C 0 &
    	$ rmmod intel-rapl-perf.ko
    
    Set THIS_MODULE to pmu->module in Intel module PMUs so that generic code
    can handle reference counting and deny rmmod while an event still exists.
