Merge tag 'trace-v4.4-rc4-4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace

Pull ftrace fix from Steven Rostedt:
 "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())"
