Subject: [PATCH] module: Fix "warning: variable 'exit' set but not used"

When CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD is not selected, 'exit' is
set but never used.

It is not possible to replace the #ifdef CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD by
IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD) because mod->exit doesn't exist
when CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD is not selected.

And because of the rcu_read_lock_sched() section it is not easy
to regroup everything in a single #ifdef. Let's regroup partially
and add missing #ifdef to completely opt out the use of
'exit' when CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD is not selected.
