The -EEXIST errno is reserved by the module loading functionality. When
userspace calls [f]init_module(), it expects a -EEXIST to mean that the
module is already loaded in the kernel. If module_init() returns it,
that is not true anymore.
Override the error when returning to userspace: it doesn't make sense to
change potentially long error propagation call chains just because it's
will end up as the return of module_init().
