Linus Torvalds 2178cbc68f Fix for async_probe module param added in 4.3 (clearly not widely used yet), 
and a much more interesting kallsyms race which has been around approximately
 forever.  This fix is more invasive, and will require some care in backporting,
 but I hated all the bandaids I could think of, so...
 
 There are some more coming, which are only for breakages introduced this
 cycle (livepatch), but wanted these in now.
 
 Thanks,
 Rusty.
