drivers/perf: Fix kernel panic when rmmod PMU modules during perf sampling
When users try to remove PMU modules during perf sampling, kernel panic
will happen because the pmu->read() is a NULL pointer here.

To solve the above issue, current module should be registered to kernel,
so that try_module_get() can be invoked when perf sampling starts. This
adds the reference counting of module and could prevent users from removing
modules during sampling.
