Use /sys/module instead of /proc/modules.
When libzfs checks if the module is loaded or not, it currently reads /proc/modules and searches for a line matching the module name. Unfortunately, if the module is included in the kernel itself (built-in module), then /proc/modules won't list it, so libzfs will wrongly conclude that the module is not loaded, thus making all ZFS userspace tools unusable. Fortunately, all loaded modules appear as directories in /sys/module, even built-in ones. Thus we can use /sys/module in lieu of /proc/modules to fix the issue. As a bonus, the code for checking becomes much simpler. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <[email protected]> Issue openzfs#851
