Subject: ksym_tracer: Fix breakpoint removal after modification
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d99be40aff88722ab03ee295e4f6c13a4cca9a3d;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

ksym_tracer: Fix breakpoint removal after modification

The error path of a breakpoint modification is broken in
the ksym tracer. A modified breakpoint hlist node is immediately
released after its removal. Also we leak a breakpoint in this
case.

Fix the path.
