"rmmod OUT_OF_TREE_MODULE" was not working, because module is not in depmod file.
In general, rmmod doesn't need scanning, it simply unloads every argv[i].

This fixes a regression introduced with commit 78854520 (modprobe:
revert checking for /, stop doing basename() on modprobe args,
2015-01-01) that broke modprobe options stored in /etc/modprobe.conf and
/etc/modprobe.d/*.conf.
This also fixes modprobe -r

"modprobe -r MODNAME", after it found the full module pathname,
should strip dirpath before trying to remove the module.

display() function returns the length of the value we are displaying + 1.
As a consequence, if we have field=value\0field=value\0field=value in the
binary, then the second occurence will be skipped as ptr will miss the first
character of the following field.
Example trying to list aliases from ixgbe.ko on a 3.2 kernel.
- In the module we have:
alias=pci:v00008086d00001560sv*sd*bc*sc*i*\0
alias=pci:v00008086d0000154Asv*sd*bc*sc*i*\0
alias=pci:v00008086d00001557sv*sd*bc*sc*i*\0
alias=pci:v00008086d0000154Fsv*sd*bc*sc*i*\0
alias=pci:v00008086d0000154Dsv*sd*bc*sc*i*\0
...
- Using modinfo -F alias ixgbe returns:
alias: pci:v00008086d00001560sv*sd*bc*sc*i*
alias: pci:v00008086d00001557sv*sd*bc*sc*i*
alias: pci:v00008086d0000154Dsv*sd*bc*sc*i*
...
This problem appeared with kernel commit "modules: no need to align .modinfo
strings" b6472776816af1ed52848c93d26e3edb3b17adab in 2.6.37.
Fix this by not trusting display() return value but increment ptr by strlen(ptr)
(the same way as depmod.c does).

Closes 627 and 7034.
Commonly seen case is (un)loading of an alias
which matches ata_generic and a more specific ata module.
For example:
modprobe [-r] pci:v00008086d00007010sv00000000sd00000000bc01sc01i80
(ata_generic and pata_acpi)
modprobe [-r] pci:v00001106d00000571sv00001509sd00009022bc01sc01i8a
(ata_generic and pata_via)

The modern module-init-tools 3.12 has "-D" option and it works.
The --show-depends and -a options can be used together due to upstream modprobe
behaviour.

If there are some spaces in the insmod command line, then
this will be splitted in single words as separate elements of
argv. It just needs to chain them together in the options string
passed to the sys_init_module syscall.
