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.
