[PATCH 3.12 47/91] module: Call module notifier on failure after complete_formation()

[Jiri Slaby]

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>

3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit 37815bf866ab6722a47550f8d25ad3f1a16a680c upstream.

The module notifier call chain for MODULE_STATE_COMING was moved up before
the parsing of args, into the complete_formation() call. But if the module failed
to load after that, the notifier call chain for MODULE_STATE_GOING was
never called and that prevented the users of those call chains from
cleaning up anything that was allocated.
