    Otherwise we get a race between unload and reload of the same module:
    the new module doesn't see the old one in the list, but then fails because
    it can't register over the still-extant entries in sysfs:

    We can teardown sysfs first, then to be sure, put the state in
    MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED so it's ignored while we deconstruct it.
