This contains two fixes.

Browse Source 
The first is a long standing bug that causes bogus data to show up
 in the refcnt field of the module_refcnt tracepoint. It was
 introduced by a merge conflict resolution back in 2.6.35-rc days.
 
 The result should be refcnt = incs - decs, but instead it did
 refcnt = incs + decs.
 
 The second fix is to a bug that was introduced in this merge window
 that allowed for a tracepoint funcs pointer to be used after it
 was freed. Moving the location of where the probes are released
 solved the problem.
