Subject: Re: [PATCH] s390: correct misuses of module_put in appldata_generic_handler.

Thanks Gerald for reviewing and sorry for not elaborated it in the e-mail.

Firstly, I think you can't call module_put after fail try_module_get

Secondly, there exists duplicate module_put on the program path (the last
one is before return 0)
