This reverts commit 9828ed3f69.
Sadly, it does seem to cause failures to load modules. Johan Hovold reports:
"This change breaks module loading during boot on the Lenovo Thinkpad
X13s (aarch64).
Specifically it results in indefinite probe deferral of the display
and USB (ethernet) which makes it a pain to debug. Typing in the dark
to acquire some logs reveals that other modules are missing as well"
Since this was applied late as a "let's try this", I'm reverting it
asap, and we can try to figure out what goes wrong later. The excessive
parallel module loading problem is annoying, but not noticeable in
normal situations, and this was only meant as an optimistic workaround
for a user-space bug.
One possible solution may be to do the optimistic exclusive open first,
and then use a lock to serialize loading if that fails.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
