[PATCH v2 1/2] module: Fix ERRORs reported by checkpatch.pl

[Christophe Leroy]

Checkpatch reports following errors:

ERROR: do not use assignment in if condition
+	if ((colon = strnchr(name, MODULE_NAME_LEN, ':')) != NULL) {

ERROR: do not use assignment in if condition
+		if ((mod = find_module_all(name, colon - name, false)) != NULL)

ERROR: do not use assignment in if condition
+			if ((ret = find_kallsyms_symbol_value(mod, name)) != 0)

ERROR: do not initialise globals to 0
+int modules_disabled = 0;

Fix them.

The following one has to remain, because the condition has to be evaluated
multiple times by the macro wait_event_interruptible_timeout().

ERROR: do not use assignment in if condition

[PATCH v2 2/2] module: Increase readability of module_kallsyms_lookup_name()

[Christophe Leroy]

module_kallsyms_lookup_name() has several exit conditions but
can't return immediately due to preempt_disable().

Refactor module_kallsyms_lookup_name() to allow returning from
anywhere, and reduce depth.
