ip2: init/deinit cleanup

Cleanup of module_init/exit:
- mostly whitespace
- remove empty functions
- replace c++ comments
- remove useless prints (module loaded, unloaded)
- mark the calls as __exit and __init
- use break; and return; to save some indent levels after it
- note resource leakage

It's still mess, but now it's readable.
