module: better OOPS and lockdep coverage for loading modules
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
If we put the module in the linked list *before* calling into to, we
get the module name and functions in the OOPS (is_module_address can
find the module).  It also helps lockdep in a similar way.
