Subject: [PATCH] pps: claim parallel port exclusively

Both pps_parport and pps_gen_parport are written in a way that they
can't share a port with any other driver. This can result in locking up
the process that loads modules or even the whole kernel if the modules
are compiled in. Use PARPORT_FLAG_EXCL to indicate this.
