Good stuff!

So test 0015 mimics the error reported by Prarit Bhargava through
commit 6e6de3dee51a ("kernel/module.c: Only return -EEXIST for modules
that have finished loading")? If so it would be good to document that
here.

Also, this patch should go first, with the ALL_TESTS variable set to
disable the tests which are known to fail, so to demonstrate the *new*
issues as they are failing and then your fix first and then you enable
that test afterwards.

If 6e6de3dee51a introduced another regression which is not covered
by the tests we'd add it, and fix on top of it as a stepping stone
to prove / send to stable.
