ftrace: Fix memleak when unregistering dynamic ops when tracing disabled
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
[ Upstream commit edb096e ]

If function tracing is disabled by the user via the function-trace option or
the proc sysctl file, and a ftrace_ops that was allocated on the heap is
unregistered, then the shutdown code exits out without doing the proper
clean up. This was found via kmemleak and running the ftrace selftests, as
one of the tests unregisters with function tracing disabled.
