But this is what basically happens. The first 'rmmod -a' doesn't
actually remove the modules, the second one does. I think it is because
the first time through, 'rmmod -a' figures out which modules have a 0
use count and markes thems as having been checked. The next time, if
the modules haven't been used in the mean time, 'rmmod -a' removes them.
So it will always be between N and 2N, where N is the interval
that you separate calls to delete_module(NULL), which is what
'rmmod -a' does.
