Subject: module: propagate error in modules_open()
From: Leon Yu <chianglungyu@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 3f553b308bb004eb730da8e00a28150c157c7724 upstream.
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
