Revert "xfree86: plug a memory leak in xf86LoadModules."

Browse Source 
This reverts commit 3abce3ea2b and
6cbaf15e61.

The memory returned to xf86LoadModule was allocated in doLoadModule, which
calls the respective module's PreInit. As it turns out, input and output
drivers store a pointer to the module elswhere, so freeing it in
xf86LoadModule is a bad idea.

For further reference: hw/xfree86/common/xf86Helper.c
    Input drivers: xf86InputDriverList[blah]->module = module;
    Output drivers: xf86DriverList[blah]->module = module;

Unloading the module would not look pretty then.
