module: fix memory leak when load fails after srcversion/version allocated (a263f776) · Commits · e / devices / android_kernel_teracube_emerald

Normally the twisty paths of sysfs will free the attributes, but not if we fail before we hook it into sysfs (which is the last thing we do in load_module). (This sysfs code is a turd, no doubt there are other issues lurking too). Reported-by:
