Setting ->owner as done currently (pde->owner = THIS_MODULE) is racy
as correctly noted at bug #12454. Someone can lookup entry with NULL
->owner, thus not pinning enything, and release it later resulting
in module refcount underflow.
We can keep ->owner and supply it at registration time like ->proc_fops
and ->data.
But this leaves ->owner as easy-manipulative field (just one C assignment)
and somebody will forget to unpin previous/pin current module when
switching ->owner. ->proc_fops is declared as "const" which should give
some thoughts.
->read_proc/->write_proc were just fixed to not require ->owner for
protection.
rmmod'ed directories will be empty and return "." and ".." -- no harm.
And directories with tricky enough readdir and lookup shouldn't be modular.
We definitely don't want such modular code.
Removing ->owner will also make PDE smaller.
So, let's nuke it.
Kudos to Jeff Layton for reminding about this, let's say, oversight.

Impact: fix bug
the third param in module_param(,,) is perm instead of default value.
we still need to assign default at first. Also, the default is now
zero not one, so fix the parameter text to reflect that.

A bug in the fusion driver was exposed by the switch to block timeout.
Basically, drivers are supposed to terminate commands once error
handling begins on them. The fusion apparently wasn't doing this.
Under the old timeout regime, completions on terminated commands would
by and large get ignored because of the way command timeouts used to
work. The new block timers are very intolerant to this, though,
becuase the request gets cleaned and freed.
