[PATCH 02/13] module: add a module_loaded helper

From: Christoph Hellwig
Date: Thu Jan 21 2021 - 15:22:36 EST


Add a helper that takes modules_mutex and uses find_module to check if a
given module is loaded. This provides a better abstraction for the two
callers, and allows to unexport modules_mutex and find_module.
