gigaset: call module_put before restart of if_open()
if_open() calls try_module_get(), and after an attempt to lock a mutex
the if_open() function may return -ERESTARTSYS without
putting the module. Then, when if_open() is executed again,
try_module_get() is called making the reference counter of THIS_MODULE
greater than one at successful exit from if_open(). The if_close()
function puts the module only once, and as a result it can't be
unloaded.
This patch adds module_put call before the return from if_open().
