Rusty Russell 1fb9341ac3 module: put modules in list much earlier.
Prarit's excellent bug report:
> In recent Fedora releases (F17 & F18) some users have reported seeing

> [   15.478174] PERCPU: allocation failed, size=304 align=32, alloc from

Now we have a new state MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED, we can insert the
module into the list (and thus guarantee its uniqueness) before we
allocate the per-cpu region.
