[PATCH] hecubafb: add module_put on error path in hecubafb_probe()

From: Pavel Shved
Date: Fri Jun 17 2011 - 12:57:12 EST


In hecubafb_probe(), after a successful try_module_get, vzalloc may
fail and make the hecubafb_probe return, but the module is not put on
this error path.

This patch adds an exit point that calls module_put in such situation.

Found by Linux Driver Verification project (linuxtesting.org).
