Not sure making a difference between /sys/module and /sys/module/XXX
presence really helps, but this is the same philosophy as how it was done
before...
So, ok let's go with this.

Please, add a check on snprintf return value.
Even if this can't happen, if snprintf fails, stat would access a truncated
or uninitialized (when < 0) path.
With this fixed, you can add my ack.
Thanks.
