Subject: [PATCH 2/2] module: deal with the failure of complete_formation

From: Qiu Peiyang <peiyangx.qiu@...el.com>

complete_formation might fail. kernel need clean up
ftrace records of the module.

The patch fixes it by tuning the operation sequence in
complete_formation. After complete_formation checks
verify_export_symbols, call ftrace_module_init to init
ftrace records.
