lockdep: fix kernel crash on module unload
Michael Wu noticed in his lkml post at http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=119396182726091&w=2 that certain wireless drivers ended up having their name in module memory, which would then crash the kernel on module unload. The patch he proposed was a bit clumsy in that it increased the size of a lockdep entry significantly; the patch below tries another approach, it checks, on module teardown, if the name of a class is in module space and then zaps the class. This is very similar to what we already do with keys that are in module space.
