clang notices that the pi_get_entry() function would use
uninitialized data if it was called with a non-NULL module
pointer on a kernel that does not support modules:
kernel/printk/index.c:32:6: error: variable 'nr_entries' is used uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is false [-Werror,-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
if (!mod) {
^~~~
kernel/printk/index.c:38:13: note: uninitialized use occurs here
if (pos >= nr_entries)
^~~~~~~~~~
kernel/printk/index.c:32:2: note: remove the 'if' if its condition is always true
if (!mod) {
Rework the condition to make it clear to the compiler that we are always
in the second case. Unfortunately the #ifdef is still required as the
definition of 'struct module' is hidden when modules are disabled.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
