Subject: module: fix refptr allocation and release order
Date: Mon, 16 Mar 2009 18:13:36 -0400
From: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@redhat.com>

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.
