Subject: [PATCH 4.15 063/105] module: propagate error in modules_open()

4.15-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Leon Yu <chianglungyu@...il.com>

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
IP: seq_release+0xc/0x30
Call Trace:
 close_pdeo+0x37/0xd0
 proc_reg_release+0x5d/0x60

Fixes: 516fb7f2e73d ("/proc/module: use the same logic as /proc/kallsyms for address exposure")
