Description
Repro steps
Install-Module -Name Cluster -RequiredVersion 0.0.0.1 -Repository PSGallery
# This depends on AzureRM, which in turn depends on 45 AzureRM.* modules.
# All get downloaded at install.
Invoke-ScriptAnalyzer -Path [PathToCluster] -Recurse -Severity Error
Invoke-ScriptAnalyzer -Path [PathToCluster] -Recurse -CustomerRulePath [someCustomRulesPath]
Uninstall-Module -Name Cluster -RequiredVersion 0.0.0.1
# Succeeds
Uninstall-Module -Name AzureRM.Websites
# One of the dependencies installed.
# Fails to uninstall, says is currently in use.
Expected Behavior
I should be able to uninstall the AzureRM.* modules. I don't expect PSSA to hold on to them.
We are unable to uninstall any of the AzureRM.* modules because something in PSSA is holding on to them. This appears to only happen for the Cluster 0.0.0.1 module.

Research direction
Reproduce the listed Install-Module, Invoke-ScriptAnalyzer, and Uninstall-Module commands with Cluster 0.0.0.1, comparing scans with and without CustomerRulePath. Trace how PSScriptAnalyzer loads modules during these scans and verify that the AzureRM.* modules can be uninstalled afterward; completion means the reported lock no longer occurs.
