[PATCH 1/1] module: Fix dangling pointer after kfree()

[Dominic Chen <d.c.ddcc@gmail.com>]

remove_notes_attrs() calls free_notes_attrs(), which in turn calls
kfree() on mod->notes_attrs, but fails to set this dangling pointer to
NULL. This differs from both module_param_sysfs_remove() and
remove_sect_attrs(), which set the pointers to NULL after calling kfree().
