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.

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.
