executing insmod hangs the entire os

[noyb noybee]

When I execute insmod for the kernel module object file of the
following C code, the entire system hangs. The module replaces the
reference to original chroot system call with a new one in the
sys_call_table. The syscall_table address is correct as per
System.map(which returns 2 values for sys_call_table, surprisingly). I
am on a VM running CentOS 6.6 with kernel version 2.6.32-504.

    original_chroot = (void *)syscall_table[__NR_chroot];
    syscall_table[__NR_chroot] = new_chroot;
    return 0;
}

    syscall_table[__NR_chroot] = original_chroot;
    printk(KERN_ALERT "MODULE EXIT\n");
}

module_init(init);
