Q - When would a user space lock be released?
A - After the module had been used and was no longer required.
MOD_USED_ONCE together with the other MOD_ flags and reference *is* a
lock. Changing to a user space lock would (a) be much more kernel code
(b) have exactly the same problem.

That is your real problem. Replacing one lock type with another is
fiddling with the symptoms, not the cause.
