RCU always baffles me a bit, so I'll ask. Don't we need
rcu_dereference_sched() here? "mod" comes from a RCU-protected list, so I
wonder.
rcu_dereference* is only used for dereferencing points where that
reference itself is RCU protected, that is the lookup of mod itself down
in find_module_all in this case.
