Doesn't compile (curtask undeclared) and doesn't work (SIGCHLD is
still SIG_IGN causing system() to fail). The problem is that
kernel/workqueue.c:worker_thread() [which is what runs modprobe now]
sets SIGCHLD to SIG_IGN, and your patch doesn't unbreak that.

The patch below, applied on top of your patch, makes it work for me.
