// * Non-null process_thread:
// * ProcessThread::RegisterModule() is called while the thread is running.

// * Null process_thread:
// * ProcessThread::DeRegisterModule() is called while the thread is
// running.
// * ProcessThread::Stop() was called and the thread has been stopped.
//
// NOTE: This method is not called from the worker thread itself, but from
// the thread that registers/deregisters the module or calls Start/Stop.
