Backported to rhel6-based OpenVZ kernel: commit 79465d2fd48e68940c2bdecddbdecd45bbba06fe Author: Rusty Russell Date: Mon Apr 28 11:05:43 2014 +0930 module: remove warning about waiting module removal. We remove the waiting module removal in commit 3f2b9c9cdf38 (September 2013), but it turns out that modprobe in kmod (< version 16) was asking for waiting module removal. No one noticed since modprobe would check for 0 usage immediately before trying to remove the module, and the race is unlikely. However, it means that anyone running old (but not ancient) kmod versions is hitting the printk designed to see if anyone was running "rmmod -w". All reports so far have been false positives, so remove the warning.
