also given that we can have modules calling register_btf_kfunc_id_set,
should we just return error instead of the warn?

It looks like quite a few registrations go through late_initcall(),
in which error codes are thrown away. I'm looking at
init/main.c:do_initcall_level:

        for (fn = initcall_levels[level]; fn < initcall_levels[level+1]; fn++)
                do_one_initcall(initcall_from_entry(fn));

Higher level question: if out of tree module does not follow convention,
it would still make sense to WARN(), right?

Ah, I got what you meant now. I'd say returning error makes sense but
WARN() is also useful. I'll send v2 with both.
