Zheng Yejian 26efd79c46 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 20e5227e9f ("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 706c81f87f ("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.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
