[OpenAFS] small improvement for Linux rc script

How did he have the kernel module already loaded?  Note that once
you start AFS, you __MUST__ remove the module after AFS shutdown.
You cannot:
 load module
 start AFS
 stop AFS
 start AFS  <--- BAD BAD BAD

The process _must be_:
 load module
 start AFS
 stop AFS
 unload module
 load module
 ...

I haven't actually looked at your patch, but I would tell this
user that they should stop pre-loading their module ;)
