RDS: have sockets get transport module references
Right now there's nothing to stop the various paths that use
rs->rs_transport from racing with rmmod and executing freed transport
code. The simple fix is to have binding to a transport also hold a
reference to the transport's module, removing this class of races.
We already had an unused t_owner field which was set for the modular
transports and which wasn't set for the built-in loop transport.
