module: Remove redundant TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE

TASK_KILLABLE already includes TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE, so there is no
need to add a separate TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE.

module: add debugging auto-load duplicate module support

The finit_module() system call can in the worst case use up to more than
twice of a module's size in virtual memory. Duplicate finit_module()
system calls are non fatal, however they unnecessarily strain virtual
memory during bootup and in the worst case can cause a system to fail
to boot. This is only known to currently be an issue on systems with
larger number of CPUs.

To help debug this situation we need to consider the different sources for
finit_module(). Requests from the kernel that rely on module auto-loading,
ie, the kernel's *request_module() API, are one source of calls. Although
modprobe checks to see if a module is already loaded prior to calling
finit_module() there is a small race possible allowing userspace to
trigger multiple modprobe calls racing against modprobe and this not
seeing the module yet loaded.

This adds debugging support to the kernel module auto-loader (*request_module()
calls) to easily detect duplicate module requests. To aid with possible bootup
failure issues incurred by this, it will converge duplicates requests to a
single request. This avoids any possible strain on virtual memory during
bootup which could be incurred by duplicate module autoloading requests.

Folks debugging virtual memory abuse on bootup can and should enable
this to see what pr_warn()s come on, to see if module auto-loading is to
blame for their wores. If they see duplicates they can further debug this
by enabling the module.enable_dups_trace kernel parameter or by enabling
CONFIG_MODULE_DEBUG_AUTOLOAD_DUPS_TRACE.

Current evidence seems to point to only a few duplicates for module
auto-loading. And so the source for other duplicates creating heavy
virtual memory pressure due to larger number of CPUs should becoming
from another place (likely udev).
