module: fix reference to mod->percpu after freeing module.

Rafael sees a sometimes crash at precpu_modfree from kernel/module.c; it
only occurred with another (since-reverted) patch, but that patch simply
changed timing to uncover this bug, it was otherwise unrelated.

The comment about the mod being freed is self-explanatory, but neither
Tejun nor I read it.  This bug was introduced in 259354de, after it
had previously been fixed in 6e2b7574.  How embarrassing.
