In my experience using -f will result in a kernel panic. And
that's well documented in the manual page. I guess you are
lucky it didn't work:) So, why don't you just reboot? and keep
the module off your kernel(if that's an option).

The easy way, just reboot. Or the hard way, fix the kernel module!
