This is cut&paste from SYSCALL_DEFINE2(delete_module...

Same here. You only removed the debug message. Why?

Same code, just without the "forced" handling.

This is the same as try_stop_module() without the "forced" handling.

I am sure that we could better refactor the code to remove
the code duplication.

Otherwise, it looks good to me.
