Subject: [031/165] dynamic debug: move ddebug_remove_module() down into free_module()

2.6.32-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Jason Baron <jbaron@...hat.com>

commit b82bab4bbe9efa7bc7177fc20620fff19bd95484 upstream.

The command

	echo "file ec.c +p" >/sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control

causes an oops.

Move the call to ddebug_remove_module() down into free_module().  In this
way it should be called from all error paths.  Currently, we are missing
the remove if the module init routine fails.
