Created attachment 5870
  --> https://bugs.busybox.net/attachment.cgi?id=5870
proposed patch

already_loaded function should not return true if the state
of the module in /proc/modules is not 'Live'. Reason being,
Parallel module load request on SMP architecture might result in
failure or unexpected behaviour via modprobe. Added the check of
'Live' state in already_loaded function to handle the same.
