[PATCH] pktcdvd: fix BUG caused by sysfs module reference semantics change

[Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com>]

pkt_setup_dev() expects module reference to be held on invocation.
This used to be true for sysfs callbacks but not anymore.  Test and
grab module reference around pkt_setup_dev() in
class_pktcdvd_store_add().
