tracing: Remove side effect from module tracepoints that caused a GPF

Remove the @refcnt argument, because it has side-effects, and arguments with
side-effects are not skipped by the jump over disabled instrumentation and are
executed even when the tracepoint is disabled.

This was also causing a GPF as found by Randy Dunlap:

Subject: 2.6.33 GP fault only when built with tracing
LKML-Reference: <4BA2B69D.3000309@...cle.com>

Note, the current 2.6.34-rc has a fix for the actual cause of the GPF,
but this fixes one of its triggers.
