Subject: [PATCH v5 1/2] module: update dependencies at try_module_get()

Sometimes, device drivers are bound into each other via try_module_get(),
making such references invisible when looking at /proc/modules or lsmod.

Add a function to allow setting up module references for such
cases, and call it when try_module_get() is used.
