  Thanks for spotting this, after reading kernel/module.c it seems obvious 
  to me that you are right. The following simple patch fixes it:

 config MODULE_FORCE_UNLOAD
 	bool "Forced module unloading"
-	depends on MODULES && EXPERIMENTAL
+	depends on MODULE_UNLOAD && EXPERIMENTAL
 	help
 	  This option allows you to force a module to unload, even if the
 	  kernel believes it is unsafe: the kernel will remove the module
