[PATCH net v2 1/2] driver.h: add helper macro for module_exit() boilerplate

["Gan, Yi Fang" <yi.fang.gan@intel.com>]

For the modules need a module_init() but don't need to do
anything special in module_exit() might need to have an empty
module_exit(). This patch add a new macro module_exit_stub() to
replace the empty module_exit(). The macro is useful to remove
the module_exit() boilerplate.
