[ Upstream commit fd76e5ccc48f9f54eb44909dd7c0b924005f1582 ]
The qrtr protocol core logic and the qrtr nameservice are combined into a single module. Neither the core logic or nameservice provide much functionality by themselves; combining the two into a single module also prevents any possible issues that may stem from client modules loading inbetween qrtr and the ns.
Creating a socket takes two references to the module that owns the socket protocol. Since the ns needs to create the control socket, this creates a scenario where there are always two references to the qrtr module. This prevents the execution of 'rmmod' for qrtr.
To resolve this, forcefully put the module refcount for the socket opened by the nameservice.
