In load_module() in the event of an error, for e.g. unknown module parameter(s) specified we go to perform some module coming clean up operations. At this point the module is still in a "formed" state when it is actually going away.
This patch updates the module's state accordingly to ensure anyone on the module_notify_list waiting for a module going away notification will be notified accordingly.
