It may not have been obvious from the title but this fixes a bug

ensure this gets the proper attention. Thank you.
I don't think breaking rmmod is sufficiently serious to warrant
immediate inclusion at this point. We can always send it via
stable after the release.
Thanks,
Oh. I just figured that problems introduced in a particular kernel level
should be resolved (if possible) in that same level.
Your call, of course; thank you for the clarification.
