We had a thread before about usersapce loading the module multiple times on
failure:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-edac/20190822005020.GA403@angband.pl/

I tried to look into it a bit, but I didn't get very far.

So is the behavior you see only happening with the new patchset applied? That
may be a clue that we can fix this in the module.

Thanks,
Yazen
