Merge tag 'modules-next-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rusty/linux

Pull module updates from Rusty Russell:
 "The exciting thing here is the getting rid of stop_machine on module
  removal.  This is possible by using a simple atomic_t for the counter,
  rather than our fancy per-cpu counter: it turns out that no one is
  doing a module increment per net packet, so the slowdown should be in
  the noise"

* tag 'modules-next-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rusty/linux:
  param: do not set store func without write perm
  params: cleanup sysfs allocation
  kernel:module Fix coding style errors and warnings.
  module: Remove stop_machine from module unloading
  module: Replace module_ref with atomic_t refcnt
  lib/bug: Use RCU list ops for module_bug_list
  module: Unlink module with RCU synchronizing instead of stop_machine
  module: Wait for RCU synchronizing before releasing a module
