OK, so the patch is actually wrong because adding #ifdefs on modules in files really impedes readability. The bug is using a direct deref on module state instead of one of the APIs which work in the non-modular case, namely try_module_get(). That means the other two need to come out and be reworked (plus all the others in fcoe). Reworked looks like it might be a bigger item than bnx2fc. If any of those tests is ever relevant, it means we have a race in the fcoe_transport because it shouldn't be calling function pointers on a dying module (unless it wants to trigger an oops). So, why are you trying to do this in the first place?
