module: fix memory leak on early load_module() failures
While looking for early possible module loading failures I was
able to reproduce a memory leak possible with kmemleak. There
are a few rare ways to trigger a failure:
o we've run into a failure while processing kernel parameters
(parse_args() returns an error)
o mod_sysfs_setup() fails
o we're a live patch module and copy_module_elf() fails
Chances of running into this issue is really low.
