modprobe: Fix holders removal
The idea behind --remove-dependencies was to remove other modules that depend on the current module being removed. It's the reverse dependency list, not the dependency list of the current module: that never works since the current module would still hold a ref on it. Fix it by replacing the call to kmod_module_get_dependencies() with kmod_module_get_holders() when using that option. Also try to cleanup the confusion by renaming the option to --remove-holders: "holder" is the name used in sysfs and by libkmod to refer to a "live" reverse dependency like what we are interested in.
