ftrace_module_init happen after dynamic_debug_setup, it is desired that cleanup should be called after this label however in current implementation it is called in free module label,ie:even though ftrace in not initialized, from so many fail case ftrace_release_mod() will be called and unnecessary traverse the whole list. In below patch we moved ftrace_release_mod() from free_module label to ddebug_cleanup label. that is the best possible location, other solution is to make new label to ftrace_release_mod() but since ftrace_module_init() is not return with minimum changes it should be in ddebug_cleanup label.
