module: don't unlink the module until we've removed all exposure.
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.
