module: fix refptr allocation and release order
Impact: fix ref-after-free crash on failed module load Fix refptr bug: Change refptr allocation and release order not to access a module data structure pointed by 'mod' after freeing mod->module_core. This bug will cause kernel panic(e.g. failed to find undefined symbols). This bug was reported on systemtap bugzilla. http://sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=9927 Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@redhat.com> Cc: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
