[PATCH v3 2/2] kprobes: initialize probed_mod to NULL

From: Zhou Chengming
Date: Fri Oct 27 2017 - 05:21:02 EST


When check_kprobe_address_safe() return fail, the probed_mod
should be set to NULL, because no module refcount held. And we
initialize probed_mod to NULL in register_kprobe() for the same reason.
