tracepoint: Do not waste memory on mods with no tracepoints
commit 7dec935a3aa04412cba2cebe1524ae0d34a30c24 upstream. No reason to allocate tp_module structures for modules that have no tracepoints. This just wastes memory. Fixes: b75ef8b44b1c "Tracepoint: Dissociate from module mutex" Acked-by: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
