Subject: Please add to stable:  module: don't unlink the module until we've
 removed all exposure.

It turns out, the bug I spent yesterday chasing in various 3.9 kernels is apparently
fixed by the commit in the title (c9c390bb5535380d40614571894ef0c00bc026ff).

Fortunately, Joe Lawrence somehow saw my email to lkml and pointed me to the
bug report below, which mentions the commit...

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58011

Please consider adding this patch to at least the 3.9 stable queue.

I have a kernel config larded up with debugging options that reproduces
the bug fairly quickly on stock 3.9.[01234] (Fedora-17, 64-bit, in case that matters)
if someone wants it....

Thanks,
Ben
