Subject: dynamic debug: move ddebug_remove_module() down into free_module()
From: Jason Baron <jbaron@redhat.com>

The command

	echo "file ec.c +p" >/sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control

causes an oops.

Move the call to ddebug_remove_module() down into free_module().  In this
way it should be called from all error paths.  Currently, we are missing
the remove if the module init routine fails.
