Now that patched modules cannot suddenly disappear we could theoretically remove klp_module_going() altogether. Unfortunately we cannot do that in practice. Loading of a patched module may fail and we need to execute right the actions implemented in klp_module_going(). Remove the call from delete_module syscall though, because that one is really superfluous. Signed-off-by: Miroslav Benes <mbenes@xxxxxxx>
