Subject: module: move module args strndup_user to just before use
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.36-rc1~549^2~2
X-Git-Url: https://bbs.cooldavid.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6526c534b2677ca601b7b92851437feb041d02a1;p=net-next-2.6.git

module: move module args strndup_user to just before use

Instead of copying and allocating the args and storing it in
load_info, we can just allocate them right before we need them.
