Bluetooth: bnep: Fix module reference
We cannot call module_put(THIS_MODULE) if this is our last reference. Otherwise, this call may cleanup our module before it returns. Gladly, the kthread API provides a simple wrapper for us. So lets use module_put_and_exit() to avoid a race condition with the module cleanup code.
