Not anything particular.

Lets see:

$ git --no-pager grep "mutex_lock(&module_mutex)"
arch/powerpc/platforms/powernv/pci-cxl.c:       mutex_lock(&module_mutex);
drivers/gpu/drm/drm_fb_helper.c:        mutex_lock(&module_mutex);
include/linux/module.h: mutex_lock(&module_mutex);
kernel/livepatch/core.c:        mutex_lock(&module_mutex);
kernel/livepatch/core.c:        mutex_lock(&module_mutex);
kernel/module.c:        mutex_lock(&module_mutex);
kernel/module.c:        mutex_lock(&module_mutex);
kernel/module.c:        mutex_lock(&module_mutex);
kernel/module.c:        mutex_lock(&module_mutex);
kernel/module.c:        mutex_lock(&module_mutex);
kernel/module.c:        mutex_lock(&module_mutex);
kernel/module.c:        mutex_lock(&module_mutex);
kernel/module.c:        mutex_lock(&module_mutex);
kernel/module.c:        mutex_lock(&module_mutex);
kernel/module.c:        mutex_lock(&module_mutex);
kernel/module.c:        mutex_lock(&module_mutex);
kernel/module.c:        mutex_lock(&module_mutex);
kernel/module.c:        mutex_lock(&module_mutex);

I could refine this commit to patch these sites. Or should I split it
into multiple?
