When module relocation is done, process_accumulated_relocations()
frees all dynamic allocated memory. rel_head_iter->rel_entry is
missed to free that kmemleak might report:

Hey Kai,

Your patch output is messed up probably due to some encoding issue.

But looknig at it and the module code, it seems like rel_entry does not
need to be a pointer. It can be a plain "struct list_head rel_entry" and
then simply pass the list_head pointer rather than allocating/freeing
it. That remove an allocation as well as some memory leak.

BTW, for fixes, you should add a Fixes: tag with the original commit
sha1 that introduced the bug.

Thanks,

Clément

Sorry, I've already resent one.

I didn't find the plain(none pointer) usage. Where please?
