Merge tag 'fixes-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rusty/linux
Pull module and param fixes from Rusty Russell: "Surprising number of fixes this merge window :( The first two are minor fallout from the param rework which went in this merge window. The next three are a series which fixes a longstanding (but never previously reported and unlikely , so no CC stable) race between kallsyms and freeing the init section. Finally, a minor cleanup as our module refcount will now be -1 during unload" * tag 'fixes-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rusty/linux: module: make module_refcount() a signed integer. module: fix race in kallsyms resolution during module load success. module: remove mod arg from module_free, rename module_memfree(). module_arch_freeing_init(): new hook for archs before module->module_init freed. param: fix uninitialized read with CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC param: initialize store function to NULL if not available.
