Petr Pavlu 19699c3bc7 module: Prevent silent truncation of module name in delete_module(2)
[ Upstream commit a6323bd4e6 ]

Passing a module name longer than MODULE_NAME_LEN to the delete_module
syscall results in its silent truncation. This really isn't much of
a problem in practice, but it could theoretically lead to the removal of an
incorrect module. It is more sensible to return ENAMETOOLONG or ENOENT in
such a case.

Update the syscall to return ENOENT, as documented in the delete_module(2)
man page to mean "No module by that name exists." This is appropriate
because a module with a name longer than MODULE_NAME_LEN cannot be loaded
in the first place.
