Subject: [PATCH v3 0/4] module: Merge same-name module load requests

Changes since v2 [1]:
- Add kselftests to verify the expected behavior.
- Split a clean-up change to the module_mutex comment into a separate patch.
- Clarify a description of the main patch and mention that it fixes also
  a recently reported problem with module vmap space allocation errors.
- Improve some code comments.

Changes since v1 [2]:
- Change the error returned by a duplicate load when the main insert
  fails from -ENODEV to -EBUSY.
- Change the error returned by a duplicate load when a same-name module
  is going from -EAGAIN to -EBUSY.
- Use a per-shared_load_info completion object to inform waiting loads
  when the main one is done.
- Add a patch to correct wake up of module_wq.
