Pull module fixes from Rusty Russell:
 "Fix for async_probe module param added in 4.3 (clearly not widely used
  yet), and a much more interesting kallsyms race which has been around
  approximately forever.  This fix is more invasive, and will require
  some care in backporting, but I hated all the bandaids I could think
  of, so...

  There are some more coming, which are only for breakages introduced
  this cycle (livepatch), but wanted these in now"

* tag 'fixes-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rusty/linux:
  modules: fix longstanding /proc/kallsyms vs module insertion race.
