[PATCH] kernel/module.c: Free lock-classes if parse_args failed

From: Andrey Tsyvarev
Date: Wed Jan 14 2015 - 01:34:54 EST


parse_args call module parameters' .set handlers, which may use locks defined in the module.
So, these classes should be freed in case parse_args returns error(e.g. due to incorrect parameter passed).
