i use the __init for function print_k.
in my opinion  after the fisrt invoking the print_k in the hello_init.
the memory of print_k will be freed,and the second invoking will
not be executed.but the result of second invoking is executing .

why?
because you're still in module_init.... :)

right after modul init stage is done, _init marked function is thrown away...

Even if we call  print_k() function inside hello_exit, it still works.
At that point __init hello_init execution is over. How its still
working?
