module: clean up load_module a little more.
1fb9341ac34825aa40354e74d9a2c69df7d2c304 made our locking in load_module more complicated: we grab the mutex once to insert the module in the list, then again to upgrade it once it's formed. Since the locking is self-contained, it's neater to do this in separate functions. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
