Subject: [PATCH net 3/5] netdevsim: avoid debugfs warning message when module is remove

When module is being removed, it couldn't be held by try_module_get().
debugfs's open function internally tries to hold file_operation->owner
if .owner is set.
If holding owner operation is failed, it prints a warning message.

Test commands:
    #SHELL1
    while :
    do
        modprobe netdevsim
        echo 1 > /sys/bus/netdevsim/new_device
        modprobe -rv netdevsim
    done

    #SHELL2
    while :
    do
        cat /sys/kernel/debug/netdevsim/netdevsim1/ports/0/ipsec
    done

Splat looks like:

In order to avoid the warning message, this patch makes netdevsim module
does not set .owner. Unsetting .owner is safe because these are protected
by inode_lock().

Fixes: 7699353da875 ("netdevsim: add ipsec offload testing")
Fixes: 31d3ad832948 ("netdevsim: add bpf offload support")
