Oh, I guess it doesn't matter. For the non-unload case, we don't even do 
any module counts, so the fixup ends up being a no-op. So with the error 
handling fixed (which your 2/2 did), I guess it's actually ok. I still 
think it would be nice to have /proc/modules show the module dependencies 
regardless of whether they can be unloaded or not, but that's really just 
an oddity, maybe not a "bug" per se.
