From: Greg KH on
2.6.33-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

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

From: Jason Baron <jbaron(a)redhat.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.
