Hmmm callers can use p11_kit_config_option(module, "module") to do this
today.

But the patch may still make sense as a solid API, however in this case
we probably want to return the expanded file name ... the filename is
currently expanded in: load_module_from_file_inlock() ... and we should
return that expanded name instead.
