In register_fprobe(), get_ips_from_filter() resolves target function addresses and increments module reference counts via try_module_get() for symbols in kernel modules. If get_ips_from_filter() fails on the second pass and returns an error, register_fprobe() returned directly without releasing module references acquired up to that point. Fix this by ensuring the cleanup loop executing module_put() runs even when get_ips_from_filter() returns a negative error.
