I'm sorry, obviously some modules needs rmmod:

# ./delete_module03
...
delete_module03.c:32: TPASS: delete_module() failed as expected: EAGAIN/EWOULDBLOCK (11)
tst_module.c:121: TWARN: could not unload dummy_del_mod_dep.ko module
tst_module.c:121: TWARN: could not unload dummy_del_mod.ko module
...

# ./delete_module03
insmod: ERROR: could not insert module dummy_del_mod.ko: File exists
tst_cmd.c:121: TBROK: 'insmod' exited with a non-zero code 1 at tst_cmd.c:121

It's because these modules cannot be found by modprobe

# modprobe -r dummy_del_mod_dep
modprobe: FATAL: Module dummy_del_mod_dep not found.

# modprobe -r dummy_del_mod
modprobe: FATAL: Module dummy_del_mod not found.

# rmmod dummy_del_mod_dep; echo $?; rmmod dummy_del_mod; echo $?

I guess for .modprobe_module we should have function which uses 'modprobe -r'.
And we should keep tst_module_unload() for these special cases. I would rename
it to tst_module_rmmod() to be obvious.

Setting this as changes requested, next week there is Hackweek in SUSE, I'll
send v3 following week.

Kind regards,
Petr
