Subject: [NET]: Nuke SET_MODULE_OWNER macro.

It's been a useless no-op for long enough in 2.6 so I figured it's time to
remove it.  The number of people that could object because they're
maintaining unified 2.4 and 2.6 drivers is probably rather small.

[ Handled drivers added by netdev tree and some missed IRDA cases... -DaveM ]
