4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

[ Upstream commit 85c814016ce3b371016c2c054a905fa2492f5a65 ]

When attempting to free lwtunnel state after the module for the encap
has been unloaded an oops occurs:

The problem is after the module for the encap can be unloaded the
corresponding ops is removed and is thus NULL here.

Modules implementing lwtunnel ops should not be allowed to unload
while there is state alive using those ops, so grab the module
reference for the ops on creating lwtunnel state and of course release
the reference when freeing the state.
