module: fix memory leak on early load_module() failures

Browse Source 
While looking for early possible module loading failures I was
able to reproduce a memory leak possible with kmemleak. There
are a few rare ways to trigger a failure:

  o we've run into a failure while processing kernel parameters
    (parse_args() returns an error)
  o mod_sysfs_setup() fails
  o we're a live patch module and copy_module_elf() fails

Chances of running into this issue is really low.

kmemleak splat:
