Linus Torvalds 2626820d83 PeiyangX Qiu reported that if a module fails to load between calling
ftrace_module_init() and do_init_module() that the allocations made
 in ftrace_module_init() will not be freed, resulting in a memory leak.
 
 The solution is to call ftrace_release_mod() on the failing module in
 the fail path befor do_init_module() is called. This will remove any
 allocations made for that module, and nothing if ftrace_module_init()
 wasn't called yet for that module.
 
 Note, once do_init_module() is called, the MODULE_GOING notifiers are
 called for the failed module, which calls into the ftrace code to do the
 proper clean up (basically calling ftrace_release_mod()).
