rmmod/delete_module hangs forever

[Robin H. Johnson]

(Please CC me on responses).

I've been meaning to report this for quite some time, but haven't got to it.

I think it may be as a result of some driver that's loaded, rather than the
core, as running the git tip (0556e82 and on another machine at home and I
can't reproduce it there.

I'm going to try a bisect shortly, and I'll post a followup thereafter.

Strace gives me this fun in the end:
delete_module("button", O_RDONLY|O_EXCL|O_NONBLOCK
and it just sits there.
