Gah. Good catch. How about we add an additional check to see if
mod->state is MODULE_STATE_LIVE? If so, we can return. This means
we're coming from do_init_module(). If module_arch_freeing_init() was
called and the module was in a state other than MODULE_STATE_LIVE
(UNFORMED, GOING, COMING), we know we need to free. Think that would
work?
