virtio: store owner from modules with register_virtio_driver()
Modules registering driver with register_virtio_driver() might forget to set .owner field. i2c-virtio.c for example has it missing. The field is used by some other kernel parts for reference counting (try_module_get()), so it is expected that drivers will set it. Solve the problem by moving this task away from the drivers to the core virtio code, just like we did for platform_driver in commit 9447057eaff8 ("platform_device: use a macro instead of platform_driver_register").
