module: don't use stop_machine for waiting rmmod
rmmod has a little-used "-w" option, meaning that instead of failing if the module is in use, it should block until the module becomes unused. In this case, we don't need to use stop_machine: Max Krasnyansky indicated that would be useful for SystemTap which loads/unloads new modules frequently.
