Linus Torvalds f196220715 module: fix init_module_from_file() error handling
Vegard Nossum pointed out two different problems with the error handling
in init_module_from_file():

 (a) the idempotent loading code didn't clean up properly in some error
     cases, leaving the on-stack 'struct idempotent' element still in
     the hash table

 (b) failure to read the module file would nonsensically update the
     'invalid_kread_bytes' stat counter with the error value

The first error is quite nasty, in that it can then cause subsequent
idempotent loads of that same file to access stale stack contents of the
previous failure.  The case may not happen in any normal situation
(explaining all the "Tested-by's on the original change), and requires
admin privileges, but syzkaller triggers random bad behavior as a
result:

    BUG: soft lockup in sys_finit_module
    BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request in init_module_from_file
    general protection fault in init_module_from_file
    INFO: task hung in init_module_from_file
    KASAN: out-of-bounds Read in init_module_from_file
    KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds Read in init_module_from_file
    ...

The second error is fairly benign and just leads to nonsensical stats
(and has been around since the debug stats were added).

Vegard also provided a patch for the idempotent loading issue, but I'd
rather re-organize the code and make it more legible using another level
of helper functions than add the usual "goto out" error handling.
