[PATCH v3] kernel/module: Fix mem leak in module_add_modinfo_attrs

From: YueHaibing
Date: Mon Jun 03 2019 - 10:52:14 EST


In module_add_modinfo_attrs if sysfs_create_file
fails, we forget to free allocated modinfo_attrs
and roll back the sysfs files.

Fixes: 03e88ae1b13d ("[PATCH] fix module sysfs files reference counting")

v3: reuse module_remove_modinfo_attrs
v2: free from '--i' instead of 'i--'
