[PATCH] modpost: fix asprintf warnings

From: Mike Frysinger
Date: Wed Dec 09 2009 - 07:02:32 EST


On compilers with security warnings enabled by default, we get:

scripts/mod/modpost.c: In function 'get_markers':
scripts/mod/modpost.c:1562: warning: ignoring return value of 'asprintf',
declared with attribute warn_unused_result
scripts/mod/modpost.c: In function 'add_marker':
scripts/mod/modpost.c:1982: warning: ignoring return value of 'asprintf',
declared with attribute warn_unused_result

So check the return value and abort on errors.
