[PATCH v2][next] hook: check for NULL pointer before deref

From: Adrian Ratiu <hidden>
Date: 2026-01-09 18:19:42
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

Fix a compiler warning (-Werror=analyzer-deref-before-check) due to
dereferencing the options pointer before NULL checking it.

In practice run_hooks_opt() is never called with a NULL opt struct,
so this just fixes the code to not trigger the warning anymore.

The NULL check is kept as-is because some future patches might end up
calling run_hooks_opt with a NULL opt struct, which is clearly a bug.

While at it, also fix the BUG message function name.

This is based on next, because it fixes a warning introduced in next.

Changes in v2:
* Applied fix to two additional dereferences (Patrick)
