Do you really want to use __free() here?

This is the only failure case in the function and tuser is NULL.

In fact, "kfree()" will never be called in this function, why the __free()?

I'm curious to what would cause this, and why we would want to continue?
So, find_tracepoint() found a tracepoint with a module attached, but
try_module_get() fails.

What's the purpose of setting these to NULL and continuing?
I'm confused.

If the try_module_get() failed, can this every be true? What happens if the
tracepoint it found belonged to another module?

This looks to be unregistering every tprobe even if it's not in the module.
The old code had:
} else if (val == MODULE_STATE_GOING && tp_mod->mod == tf->mod) {
And the new code has:
} else if (val == MODULE_STATE_GOING) {
Where's the check here to see if tf is used by the module?
