ftrace: Fix possible warning on checking all pages used in ftrace_process_locs()
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.
