No more module_* hooks

Hi,

In looking at the hooks that we have, that no one uses, module_* were an
easy target.  So here's a series of patches that removes them.  If no
one complains, I'll commit these to the main tree.

Well, DTE did use the module_delete hook, but that's not the way to
prevent yourself from ever being unloaded.  Just do a MOD_DEC_USE_COUNT;
in your init_module() function, and then you can't be unloaded.

Comments?

thanks,

greg k-h
