[PATCH v3 10/10] liveupdate: Defer file handler module refcounting to active sessions

[Pasha Tatashin <pasha.tatashin@soleen.com>]

Stop pinning modules indefinitely upon file handler registration.
Instead, dynamically increment the module reference count only when a
live update session actively uses the file handler (e.g., during
preservation or deserialization), and release it when the session ends.

This allows modules providing live update handlers to be gracefully
unloaded when no live update is in progress.
