[PATCH 2/2] module: Simplify warning on positive returns from module_init()

STALE323d

From: Lucas De Marchi <hidden>
Date: 2025-10-13 16:27:08
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: module support, the rest · Maintainers: Luis Chamberlain, Petr Pavlu, Daniel Gomez, Sami Tolvanen, Linus Torvalds

It should now be rare to trigger this warning - it doesn't need to be so
verbose. Make it follow the usual style in the module loading code.

For the same reason, drop the dump_stack().
