Update several example code for newer kernel
...
Known issues with current example code:
If you using newer kernel(e.g linux 5.11.x) to compile the example code,
you may meet following error:
1. syscall.c:83:50: error: ‘ksys_close’ undeclared;
2. cryptosk.c:17:24: error: field ‘sg’ has incomplete type
3. cryptosk.c:143:9: error: implicit declaration of function
‘get_random_bytes’
4. error: macro "DECLARE_TASKLET" passed 3 arguments, but takes just 2
Solutions/workaround:
1. In syscall.c, replace #include <linux/syscalls.h> with
#include <linux/fdtable.h> and replace ksys_close with close_fd
if the kernel version >= 5.11. [1][2]
2. Add #include <linux/scatterlist.h> into cryptosk.c
3. Add #include <linux/random.h> into cryptosk.c
4. In bottomhalf.c and example_tasklet.c, replace DECLARE_TASKLET
with DECLARE_TASKLET_OLD and dispose third argument(0L). [3]

Improve the descriptions about reference count ( #62 )
...
The term "reference count" would be better than "use count."
In addition, the usage of module_refcount(THIS_MODULE) was appended
for the reference counter query.

Introduce \src to generate Linux kernel source hyperlinks
...
The new command \src was introduced for preliminary hyperlink generation
which points to Linux kernel source code. At present, stable/linux.git
was referred:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git
We might switch to specific LTS kernels once requested.

Revise the path of Linux kernel headers
...
This patch uses the relative path to Linux kernel headers in source tree
rather than what they are usually inclused in LKM. It would be great to
introduce \href with appropriate hyperlinks to Linux kernel tree.

Both <linux/module.h> and <linux/kernel.h> are essential headers, and
LKM should include them. Here, we do not use the fully qualified path
specifying the headers.
