Krzysztof Kozlowski af8a6e65f4 USB: serial: set driver owner when registering drivers ...

Modules registering drivers with usb_serial_register_drivers() might
forget to set .owner field.  The field is used by some of 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
USB serial code, just like we did for platform_driver in
commit 9447057eaf ("platform_device: use a macro instead of
platform_driver_register").
