Subject: [PATCH net] scripts/pahole-flags.sh: Make sure pahole --version works

From: Saeed Mahameed <saeedm@...dia.com>

I had a broken pahole and it's been driving me crazy to see tons of the
following error messages on every build.

pahole: symbol lookup error: pahole: undefined symbol: btf_gen_floats
scripts/pahole-flags.sh: line 12: [: : integer expression expected
scripts/pahole-flags.sh: line 16: [: : integer expression expected

Address this by redirecting pahole --version stderr to devnull,
and validate stdout has a non empty string, otherwise exit silently.

Fixes: 9741e07ece7c ("kbuild: Unify options for BTF generation for vmlinux and modules")
