From: Pietro Borrello <borrello@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 81d0fa4cb4fc0e1a49c2b22f92c43d9fe972ebcf upstream. All callers of trace_probe_primary_from_call() check the return value to be non NULL. However, the function returns list_first_entry(&tpe->probes, ...) which can never be NULL. Additionally, it does not check for the list being possibly empty, possibly causing a type confusion on empty lists. Use list_first_entry_or_null() which solves both problems.
