Fix incorrect major number registration in chardev ( #77 )
...
chardev2.c demonstrates the ioctl operation with static major
number MAJOR_NUM, but there also exists "Major," the dynamic
one, which results in registration and deregistration on different
device. Once the module remove, it cannot insert again:
$ sudo insmod chardev2.ko
$ sudo rmmod chardev2
$ cat /proc/devices
Character devices:
...
100 char_dev
$ sudo insmod chardev2.ko
insmod: ERROR: could not insert module chardev2.ko: Device or resource busy
This patch removed the use of dynamic major number.

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]

Mention pr_info() rather than KERN_INFO
...
The latter might have been used along with printk() in an earlier
version, but pr_info() is getting used consistently so adjust the
#include comments accordingly.
For the avoidance of doubt, pr_info() actually comes from printk.h,
which gets #include'd by kernel.h.

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.
