The tracing system needs a way to save all the currently loaded modules
and their addresses into persistent memory so that it can evaluate the
addresses on a reboot from a crash. When the persistent memory trace
starts, it will load the module addresses and names into the persistent
memory. To do so, it will call the module_for_each_mod() function and pass
it a function and data structure to get called on each loaded module. Then
it can record the memory.

This only implements that function.

It is better to add a kerneldoc for this API.

/** 
 * module_for_each_mod() - iterate all modules
 * @func: Callback function
 * @data: User data
 *
 * Call the @func with each module in the system. If @func returns !0, this
 * stops itrating. Note that @func must not sleep since it is called under
 * the preemption disabled.
 */

BTW, do we really need to disable preempt or is it enough to call
rcu_read_lock()?

Thank you,
