kernel/module.c: wakeup processes in module_wq on module unload (2019-11-15 11:23:12 +0100)

----------------------------------------------------------------
Modules updates for v5.5

Summary of modules changes for the 5.5 merge window:

- Refactor include/linux/export.h and remove code duplication between
EXPORT_SYMBOL and EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS to make it more readable. The most
notable change is that no namespace is represented by an empty string ""
rather than NULL.

- Fix a module load/unload race where waiter(s) trying to load the same
module weren't being woken up when a module finally goes away.
