If the comment means that we already have a module owner ref taken
before this try_module_get, then this should use __module_get and
a mention where the first ref was taken.

If not, then this needs an explanation as to what prevents another cpu to
rmmod the owning module between the lookup in xfrm_init_state and the
module reference in __iptfs_init_state.
