module: Fix mod->mkobj.kobj potentially freed too early
DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE helps to find the issue attached below. After some investigation, it seems the reason is: The mod->mkobj.kobj(ffffffffa01600d0 below) is freed together with mod itself in free_module(). However, its children still hold references to it, as the delay caused by DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE. So when the child(holders below) tries to decrease the reference count to its parent in kobject_del(), BUG happens as it tries to access already freed memory. This patch tries to fix it by waiting for the mod->mkobj.kobj to be really released in the module removing process (and some error code paths).
