You only check whether the pointer is already there. If a module
constructs an event struct itself the memory address is different each
time so we don't detect events registered twice. We could check for
duplicate function pointers, but I don't think that is necessary.

Events will be registered in init_module(), after other stuff has been
registered. If that stuff fails, we shouldn't register the exit and
interval events. It's the problem of the module, really.
