In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
module: fix lost error code from codetag load module()
If codetag load module() fails, err is not set to reflect the failure
and load module() returns 0 after the module has been torn down.
Also, if the module is a livepatch, mod->klp info allocated by
copy module elf() leaks on this error path. Free it via a new
livepatch cleanup label.
