From: Zheng Yejian zhengyejian1@huawei.com
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.
