nvme-core: get/put ctrl and transport module in nvme_dev_open/release()

Get and put the reference to the ctrl in the nvme_dev_open() and
nvme_dev_release() before and after module get/put for ctrl in char
device file operations.

Introduce char_dev relase function, get/put the controller and module
which allows us to fix the potential Oops which can be easily reproduced
with a passthru ctrl (although the problem also exists with pure user
access):

With this patch fix we take the module ref count in nvme_dev_open() and
release that ref count in newly introduced nvme_dev_release().
