You may want to remove that useless 'extern'.

'checkpatch --strict' will likely tell you to do so.

What is 'this' ? Can we give it a more precise name ? Is it a child, a 
parent, a owner, something else ?

Looks like that #ifdef could be avoided and replaced by 
IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD)

Something like:

	if (!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD) || ret)
		goto ret;

Same here, what is 'this' exactly ?
