module: propagate error in modules_open()
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
otherwise kernel can oops later in seq_release() due to dereferencing null
file->private_data which is only set if seq_open() succeeds.

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000000
IP: seq_release+0xc/0x30
