Subject: [PATCH 2/2] arm-ccn: perf: Prevent module unload while PMU is in use

When the PMU driver is built as a module, the perf expects the
pmu->module to be valid, so that the driver is prevented from
being unloaded while it is in use. Fix the CCN pmu driver to
fill in this field.

Fixes: commit a33b0daab73a0 ("bus: ARM CCN PMU driver")
