Merge tag 'modules-next-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rusty/linux

Pull module updates from Rusty Russell:
 "The exciting thing here is the getting rid of stop_machine on module
  removal.  This is possible by using a simple atomic_t for the counter,
  rather than our fancy per-cpu counter: it turns out that no one is
  doing a module increment per net packet, so the slowdown should be in
  the noise"
