8f0e96ee11 mips: Free memory when load_module fails (#14453)
The mips reloc patch introduced new allocations which were done before
add_unformed_module but never freed them in case of an error. A new hook in
Linux 3.19 called module_arch_freeing_init can be used for freeing memory
which were allocated during this init phase.

The problem can be seen when trying to load a module (via busybox insmod)
when it was already loaded.

    free -m
    for i in `seq 1 100`; do
        /sbin/insmod /lib/modules/*/ath9k.ko >& /dev/null
    done
    free -m

This simple loop would leak ~3.2 MB.
