Subject: [PATCH 7/7] module: avoid exporting module_mutex
drm_fb_helper_modinit() calls find_module() which only
needs rcu_read_lock_sched().
The rest seems still have to hold module_mutex to prevent
module insertion/deletion. Instead of exporting module_mutex
for them, export two functions lock_modules()/unlock_modules()
and hide module_mutex.
