mips: Free memory when load_module fails (#14453)
The mips reloc patch introduced new allocations which were done before add_unformed_module but never freed them in case of an error. A new hook in Linux 3.19 called module_arch_freeing_init can be used for freeing memory which were allocated during this init phase. The problem can be seen when trying to load a module (via busybox insmod) when it was already loaded. free -m for i in `seq 1 100`; do /sbin/insmod /lib/modules/*/ath9k.ko >& /dev/null done free -m This simple loop would leak ~3.2 MB.

+Subject: [PATCH] module_arch_freeing_init(): new hook for archs before module->module_init freed.
+
+Archs have been abusing module_free() to clean up their arch-specific
+allocations. Since module_free() is also (ab)used by BPF and trace code,
+let's keep it to simple allocations, and provide a hook called before
+that.
+
+This means that avr32, ia64, parisc and s390 no longer need to implement
+their own module_free() at all. avr32 doesn't need module_finalize()
+either.
