[v4] ftrace: Fix possible warning on checking all pages used in ftrace_process_locs()
Commit Message
As comments in ftrace_process_locs(), there may be NULL pointers in
mcount_loc section:
> Some architecture linkers will pad between
> the different mcount_loc sections of different
> object files to satisfy alignments.
> Skip any NULL pointers.
After commit 20e5227e9f55 ("ftrace: allow NULL pointers in mcount_loc"),
NULL pointers will be accounted when allocating ftrace pages but skipped
before adding into ftrace pages, this may result in some pages not being
used. Then after commit 706c81f87f84 ("ftrace: Remove extra helper
functions"), warning may occur at:
WARN_ON(pg->next);
To fix it, only warn for case that no pointers skipped but pages not used
up, then free those unused pages after releasing ftrace_lock.

Changes v3 [3] => v4:
- Keep the upside-down-xmas-tree format as Steve suggested.

Changes v2 [2] => v3:
- Check NULL for 'pg->next' before assigning it to variable 'pg_unuse'.
Changes v1 [1] => v2:
- As Steve suggested, only warn for case that no pointers skipped
but pages not used up then free those unused pages. But I move
the free process after releasing ftrace_lock.

- Update commit messages about the new solution.
