In the case of my proposed consistency model RFC, if the module
unloading task gets preempted, or if mod->exit() calls schedule(), its
task can switch to the new universe before it's done.

And for many modules it could also be possible for other contexts to
access the module's functions in the GOING state before mod->exit()
disables them.
