commit 5d603311615f612320bb77bd2a82553ef1ced5b7 upstream.
Fix the race between load and unload a kernel module.
sys_delete_module() try_stop_module() mod->state = _GOING add_unformed_module() old = find_module_all() (old->state == _GOING => wait_event_interruptible())
During pre-condition finished_loading() rets 0 schedule() (never gets waken up later) free_module() mod->state = _UNFORMED list_del_rcu(&mod->list) (dels mod from "modules" list)
return
The race above leads to modprobe hanging forever on loading a module.
Error paths on loading module call wake_up_all(&module_wq) after freeing module, so let's do the same on straight module unload.
