The module_get_next_page() function return error pointers on error
instead of NULL.
Use IS_ERR() to check the return value to fix this.

Thanks queued up. How did you find out? Just code inspection? I see
chances are low of this triggering, but just curious how you found it.
I found this by static analysis, specifically, I obtained functions that return error pointers and

inspected whether their callers followed the correct specification.
