It is advised to use module_name() macro instead of dereferencing mod->name
directly. This makes sense for consistencys sake and also it prevents a
hard dependency to CONFIG_MODULES.

I thought that to get things moving it would make sense to fix this low
hanging fruit issue first. Similarly as Masami's fix kernel/kprobes.c
this will make my patch set less rambling, and thus easier to follow.
