Using a panic notifier would seem more appropriate?
I understand;  will investigate if we can change.

what's the deal with this?

You free it before the kernel really even started?
The semaphore (init_sem) is unlocked at lkl_run_init(), so this waits
for finishing the init call. After the initialization ends, it's safe
to free as it's no longer used.

I may add some description here to make it clear.
