Correct. See the original note --- linux.ko failed to load due to a missing
module dependency. The script should check that the sysctl exists, indicating
that module is truly loaded. Currently it assumes the module loads successfully
and uses a potentially non-existent sysctl.

This is an edge case, as most installations use GENERIC, which builds all
modules, so they would never see it. I only build the modules I need, a
holdover from the old days of slower, single core systems, and small boot
partitions. Sometimes you are bit by module dependencies silently showing up,
like this.
