Bluetooth: bnep: Fix module reference 

We cannot call module_put(THIS_MODULE) if this is our last reference. Otherwise,
this call may cleanup our module before it returns.

Gladly, the kthread API provides a simple wrapper for us. So lets use
module_put_and_exit() to avoid a race condition with the module cleanup code.
