Revert "Driver core: let request_module() send a /sys/modules/kmod/-uevent"
This reverts commit c353c3fb0700a3c17ea2b0237710a184232ccd7f. It turns out that we end up with a loop trying to load the unix module and calling netfilter to do that. Will redo the patch later to not have this loop. Acked-by: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
