The documentation says that kmod_module_probe_insert_module() will
return >0 if "stopped by a reason given in @flags" but it returns a
negative value if KMOD_PROBE_FAIL_ON_LOADED flag is passed and the
relevant module is already loaded. Fix the error path by using a
positive error value where required.

this would break the ABI. modprobe for instance, that is in the same
repository would be broken by it:
kmod_list_foreach() {
...
if (err >= 0)
/* ignore flag return values such as a mod being blacklisted */
err = 0;

I think we need to say the bug is actually in the bad documentation - my
bad actually, on commit b1a51256a9ed ("libkmod-module: probe: change
insertion to cover more use cases").
If you look at the definition of 'enum kmod_probe' you will see that
not all flags are returned as positive values - the only values that
have this behavior are the ones related to blacklist.
Could you rather patch the documentation?
