This reverts commit 480b02df, since Rafael reports that it causes occasional kernel paging request faults in load_module(). Dropping the module lock and re-taking it deep in the call-chain is definitely not the right thing to do. That just turns the mutex from a lock into a "random non-locking data structure" that doesn't actually protect what it's supposed to protect. Requested-and-tested-by:
