3.11.10.11 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me
know.
------------------
From: "Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)" <rost...@goodmis.org>
commit 7dec935a3aa04412cba2cebe1524ae0d34a30c24 upstream.
No reason to allocate tp_module structures for modules that have no
tracepoints. This just wastes memory.
Fixes: b75ef8b44b1c "Tracepoint: Dissociate from module mutex"
Acked-by: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoy...@efficios.com>
