Apparently being the operative word.

This commit avoids the entire "module insert failed due to sysfs race"
path in the common case, it doesn't fix any actual problem.

I think the real commit you want is Linus' kobject fix
a49b7e82cab0f9b41f483359be83f44fbb6b4979 "kobject: fix kset_find_obj()
race with concurrent last kobject_put()".

Or is that already in stable?

Cheers,
Rusty.
