Race between RCU and rmmod

Hi Dipankar, Rusty,

I seem to have found a race between RCU and rmmod.  What I see appears to be
an RCU destructor function that has a call pending but lives in a module, gets
deleted before the RCU callback is processed:

I think that rmmod needs to clear the RCU destructor queue, probably inside of
__try_stop_module().
