>Description:
If a console screensaver kernel module is loaded and active and i remove the 'saver="xxx"' rc.conf variable or set it to 'saver=""' the saver kernel module is not unloaded when i execute '/etc/rc.d/syscons restart'. With the attached patch this will be done.

>How-To-Repeat:
1. Configure a console saver in rc.conf:
saver="green"

2. Start it
# /etc/rc.d/syscons start
# kldstat
Id Refs Address    Size     Name
 1    5 0xc0400000 9fab28   kernel
 2    1 0xc0dfb000 6a45c    acpi.ko
 3    1 0xc2e8b000 2000     green_saver.ko

3. Remove or unset console saver in rc.conf:
saver=""

4. Restart syscons
# /etc/rc.d/syscons restart
# kldstat
Id Refs Address    Size     Name
 1    5 0xc0400000 9fab28   kernel
 2    1 0xc0dfb000 6a45c    acpi.ko
 3    1 0xc2e8b000 2000     green_saver.ko

5. Apply patch and restart syscons
# /etc/rc.d/syscons restart
# kldstat
Id Refs Address    Size     Name
 1    3 0xc0400000 9fab28   kernel
 2    1 0xc0dfb000 6a45c    acpi.ko
