Subject: [PATCH] kpatch: wait for module ref counts on unload
There exists a very small timing window in which "kpatch unload" gets to
its "rmmod" step before the kpatch-patch module's reference count has
cleared and the "rmmod" fails.
This is only a transient problem, but we can adopt code from upstream
livepatch kselftests which wait for the module refcounts to settle
before moving onto "rmmod".
A small wrinkle is that this is not supported by the older kpatch.ko
core. The price for circumventing the activeness safety check via
KPATCH_FORCE_UNSAFE is that it must leave the kpatch patch modules in
place (see e1890e627a9b ("prevent rmmod of forced modules")).
