Revert "module: drop the lock while waiting for module to complete initialization."
This reverts commit 480b02df3aa9f07d1c7df0cd8be7a5ca73893455, since
Rafael reports that it causes occasional kernel paging request faults in
load_module().
Dropping the module lock and re-taking it deep in the call-chain is
definitely not the right thing to do. That just turns the mutex from a
lock into a "random non-locking data structure" that doesn't actually
protect what it's supposed to protect.
