However this condition should never happen because codetag_needs_module_section() will detect an empty section and avoid calling codetag_alloc_module_section(). Change codetag_alloc_module_section() to never return NULL, which should prevent static checker warnings. Add a WARN_ON() and a proper error reporting in case codetag_alloc_module_section() returns NULL, to prevent future codetag type implementations from returning NULL from their cttype->desc.alloc_section_mem() operation.
