    Pull module updates from Jessica Yu:
     "Summary of modules changes for the 5.6 merge window:
    
       - Add "MS" (SHF_MERGE|SHF_STRINGS) section flags to __ksymtab_strings
         to indicate to the linker that it can perform string deduplication
         (i.e., duplicate strings are reduced to a single copy in the string
         table). This means any repeated namespace string would be merged to
         just one entry in __ksymtab_strings.
    
       - Various code cleanups and small fixes (fix small memleak in error
         path, improve moduleparam docs, silence rcu warnings, improve error
         logging)"
