[PATCH 3.4 7/9] tracepoint: Do not waste memory on mods with no tracepoints

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

3.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: "Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)" <rostedt@goodmis.org>

commit 7dec935a3aa04412cba2cebe1524ae0d34a30c24 upstream.

No reason to allocate tp_module structures for modules that have no
tracepoints. This just wastes memory.

Fixes: b75ef8b44b1c "Tracepoint: Dissociate from module mutex"
