[PATCH] module unload deadlock fix

From: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

From: Andrea Arcangeli <andrea@suse.de>

We should drop module sem before calling mod->exit, for practical reasons:
too many module exit functions oops or hang, resulting in a permenantly held
module sem, which blocks all module ops including lsmod.
