module: fix bne2 "gave up waiting for init of module libcrc32c"

Problem: it's hard to avoid an init routine stumbling over a
request_module these days.  And it's not clear it's always a bad idea:
for example, a module like kvm with dynamic dependencies on kvm-intel
or kvm-amd would be neater if it could simply request_module the right
one.

In this particular case, it's libcrc32c:

	libcrc32c_mod_init
	 crypto_alloc_shash
	  crypto_alloc_tfm
	   crypto_find_alg
	    crypto_alg_mod_lookup
	     crypto_larval_lookup
	      request_module

If another module is waiting inside resolve_symbol() for libcrc32c to
finish initializing (ie. bne2 depends on libcrc32c) then it does so
holding the module lock, and our request_module() can't make progress
until that is released.

Waiting inside resolve_symbol() without the lock isn't all that hard:
we just need to pass the -EBUSY up the call chain so we can sleep
where we don't hold the lock.  Error reporting is a bit trickier: we
need to copy the name of the unfinished module before releasing the
lock.

Other notes:
1) This also fixes a theoretical issue where a weak dependency would allow
   symbol version mismatches to be ignored.
2) We rename use_module to ref_module to make life easier for the only
   external user (the out-of-tree ksplice patches).
