[RFC 06/12] module: move early sanity checks into a helper

[Luis Chamberlain]

Move early sanity checkers for the module into a helper.
This let's us make it clear when we are working with the
local copy of the module prior to allocation.

This produces no functional changes, it just makes subsequent
changes easier to read.
