module_is_live function is only defined when CONFIG_MODULES is enabled.
Use try_module_get instead to check whether the module is being removed.

When module unload and manuall unmapping is happening in parallel, we can
try removing the symlink twice: rnbd_client_exit vs. rnbd_clt_unmap_dev_store.

This is probably not the best way to deal with this race in general, but for
now this fixes the compilation issue when CONFIG_MODULES is disabled and has
no functional impact. Regression tests passed.

The Fixes: line has a specific expected format. It should be like this:

Fixes: 1eb54f8f5dd8 ("block/rnbd: client: sysfs interface functions")
