Hi Barbaros,

It's usually a good idea to paste the error message into the
commit message for compile fixes: it helps people googling the problem.

In this case, it's particularly important, because I can't find any
users of ref_module() outside module.c itself: it's only exported for
ksplice to use.

Cheers,
Rusty.
