[PATCH v2] lib: add module unload support to sort tests

From: Pravin Shedge
Date: Fri Dec 22 2017 - 13:25:59 EST


test_sort.c perform array-based and linked list sort test. Code allows to
compile either as a loadable modules or builtin into the kernel.

Current code is not allow to unload the test_sort.ko module after
successful completion.

This patch add support to unload the "test_sort.ko" module by
adding module_exit support.

Previous patch was implemented auto unload support by returning
-EAGAIN from module_init() function on successful case, but this
approach is not ideal.

The auto-unload might seem like a nice optimization, but it encourages
inconsistent behaviour. And behaviour that is different from all other
normal modules.
