The only reference to nf_tproxy_core.ko is for the symbol, "nf_tproxy_assign_sock".
xt_TPROXY.c, which references this symbol, thus creates a symbol dependency on this
module, so xt_TPROXY.o needs to unload before nf_tproxy_core.ko can unload, and
xt_TPROXY.o has it's own manner for handling module references properly.
