kernel/bpf/btf.c:4023 btf_distill_func_proto()
        error: potentially dereferencing uninitialized 't'.

kernel/bpf/btf.c
  4012          nargs = btf_type_vlen(func);
  4013          if (nargs >= MAX_BPF_FUNC_ARGS) {
  4014                  bpf_log(log,
  4015                          "The function %s has %d arguments. Too many.\n",
  4016                          tname, nargs);
  4017                  return -EINVAL;
  4018          }
  4019          ret = __get_type_size(btf, func->type, &t);
                                                       ^^
t isn't initialized for the first -EINVAL return

This is unlikely path, since BTF should have been validated at this point.
Fix it by returning 'void' BTF.
