[RFC 09/12] module: extract patient module check into helper

From: Luis Chamberlain
Date: Sat Mar 11 2023 - 00:18:01 EST


The patient module check inside add_unformed_module() is large
enough as we need it. It is a bit hard to read too, so just
move it to a helper and do the inverse checks first to help
shift the code and make it easier to read. The new helper then
is module_patient_check_exists().
